Concept
Note
Human Rights Education cuts across all
disciplines and can be defined as education, training and information aimed at
building a universal culture of human values and rights. Further, human rights
education encompasses developing values and reinforcing attitudes and behavior
which uphold human rights ethics and defend and promote human rights action. It is a great challenge to educate the youth
to gain knowledge of human rights and its mechanisms and also to develop the
skills needed to promote, defend and apply human rights in daily life. The
manner in which Indian habitat is changing and transforming with great impact
on our lives, the Human Rights Education should be given priority.
Human Rights Education should be
differentiated from the Human Rights Laws although both are closely related. While
Human Rights Education provides the historical, social, philosophical and political
context of human rights, Human Rights Laws provide the legal framework for the
protection and implementation of Human Rights. It may be noted that Human
Rights Education has relevance at almost all the stages of education. The study
of Human Rights Laws, on the other hand, is a specialized kind of activity and
training. This distinction needs to be kept in mind while addressing the issues
and challenges of Human Rights Education.
Human Rights Education has assumed a new
significance with a growing global concern that new generation should be
sensitized on human rights issues. The process of globalization and the
changing global order, in which, the borders are losing importance, bringing
nations and people together, further underline the importance of the issue.
The seminar aims at discussing these human
rights issues in different sessions. Scholarly Papers are invited on the
related sub-themes.
