DESCRIPTION
I am delighted to have been called upon by the publisher to write an editorial note for the Social Justice and Human Rights in India, a series of articles dealing with different issues of human rights. While I am writing this editorial note, I am conscious of vast and multifarious areas of human rights. The movement for integration of international standards into the mainstream human rights law has been ever increasing. Since the adoption of the Universal Decelaration of Human Rights in 1948, a comprehensive international human rights law embracing many international instruments has been created.
