520			_aProtection and promotion of human rights of the people became an important universal issue and the state parties agreed to evolve institutional mechanism for the purpose in early 1990s. India also resorted to enact ‘Protection of Human Rights Act 1993’ which envisages the establishment of National Human Rights Commission, State Human Rights Commission and Human Rights Courts largely to resolve the issues of severe violation of human rights in their jurisdiction. In consequence, Bihar Human Rights Commission (BHRC) was established in the year 2000. But it is generally alleged that these institutions have been inadequately effective. As such, the present paper attempts to assess the effectiveness of BHRC and underline the challenges faced by it. Based on secondary sources, the paper finds that BHRC, despite challenges, has been considerably successful in checking the violation of human rights in the state. However, BHRC has to face the challenges like inadequate attention of the government and lack of awareness among people to approach the Commission for reddressal of their grievances. – Reproduced http://www.iipabiharbranch.org/upload/Journal%20Volume%20XX.pdf
