UPSC CISF-AC-EXE – 2022
The correct answer is (B) The Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993.
In India, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), State Human Rights Commissions (SHRCs), and Human Rights Courts are constituted under the provisions of The Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993. This Act was enacted to provide for the constitution of these bodies for better protection of human rights.
The Protection of Civil Rights Act, 1955, is a different law that deals with the punishment for the preaching and practice of untouchability and for the enforcement of any disability arising therefrom. The International Bill of Human Rights is a set of international documents and does not directly govern the establishment of domestic human rights institutions in India, although the Act of 1993 is informed by India’s international human rights obligations.
