The human rights commissions in India need improvements - World Affairs: A Journal of International Issues - 29(2), Apr-Jun, 2025: p.156-163

The Human Rights Commissions in India were constituted under the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993, to provide access to justice for people who find it difficult and expensive to approach the Courts. The Commissions suffer from handicaps, such as a lack of autonomy, politically made appointments, inadequate resources, and no independent investigation mechanism. Oinam Jitendra Singh points out that the country’s image as a vibrant democracy will be at stake if such institutions fail to live up to people’s expectations. – Reproduced
