<p>Prof. M Maheen Guest Speaker expressed his views on ‘World Human Rights Day’.&nbsp; He said the whole world celebrates IHRD on 10<sup>th</sup> December every year except South Africa which celebrates on 21<sup>st</sup> March for their own political reasons.&nbsp; He opined that the UDHR is considered the foundation of the text of human and civil rights.&nbsp; He opined that the political parties and some organizations due to their vested interests are dividing the nation and violating human rights on religious basis. They are spoiling the spirit of brotherhood.&nbsp;&nbsp; Judiciary is not playing its own judiciously, people are not getting justice and losing faith in judiciary. No one should be arbitrarily deprived of the nationality, property, freedom of thought, conscience, religion etc. He also laid stress on corruption as one of the violations of the human rights. People are unaware of their human rights, awareness of the human rights among all is the need of the hour.&nbsp; He laid importance of human rights education, it is the moral education, it moldsone’s character and also responsibility to develop the personality of the youth.&nbsp; Human rights education should start from the school and college as education us the fundamental right and is essential to exercise other human rights.&nbsp; It empowers a person to lead a life of dignity. The concept of one nation, one language will be destroyed. The enemies of human rights should be recognized and eliminated.&nbsp; One should continuously make efforts to uplift the dignity of human rights by spreading awareness among the public in general.</p>
