Synopsis Human rights and fundamental freedoms are the foundation of justice and peace in the world, and are best maintained on the one hand by an effective political democracy, and on the other by a common understanding and observance of the human rights upon which they depend. They allow us to develop fully use human qualities, intelligence, talents and conscience, and to satisfy spiritual and other needs. The uphill task and long drawn out battle of protecting human rights and fundamental freedoms can be only won when sincere efforts are constantly made at every level--individual, family, society, nation and international. It is gratifying to note that both government and non-governmental organisations are taking necessary steps in protecting human rights and fundamental freedoms. The present volume covers the entire gamut of human rights and fundamental freedoms. It will be of great interest to teachers, scholars, students of human rights, and to all those interested in having knowledge about the scope of the fundamental human rights.
