  HISTORY OF HUMAN RIGHTS Human Rights Defined While some dictionaries define the word right as “a privilege,” when used in the context of “human rights,” we are talking about something more basic.* Every person is entitled to certain fundamental rights, simply by the fact of being human. These are called “human rights” rather than a privilege (which can be taken away at someone’s whim). They are “rights” because they are things you are allowed to be, to do or to have. These rights are there for your protection against people who might want to harm or hurt you. They are also there to help us get along with each other and live in peace. Many people know something about their rights. Generally they know they have the right to food and a safe place to stay. They know they have a right to be paid for the work they do.

  Emerging and Recent Challenges:  AI, Surveillance, and Climate Justice Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights The rapid expansion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has introduced complex challenges to human rights and welfare. While AI-driven systems have the potential to enhance welfare delivery through efficient governance, predictive healthcare, personalized education, and targeted social services, they also pose serious risks to human dignity, equality, and autonomy. One major concern is algorithmic bias. AI systems trained on biased or incomplete data can reinforce existing social inequalities related to caste, race, gender, and class. In welfare contexts, biased algorithms may lead to wrongful exclusion from social benefits, discriminatory credit scoring, or unequal access to employment opportunities. Such outcomes directly undermine the principles of equality and non-discrimination. Another challenge relates to automation and employment. The increasing use of AI and r...

  Human Rights and Welfare in Practice Case Studies Case Studies: Human Rights and Welfare in Practice Case Study 1: Right to Food and Public Distribution System (India) India’s struggle with hunger and malnutrition led to one of the world’s largest rights-based welfare interventions: the Public Distribution System (PDS). Following sustained civil society activism and landmark Supreme Court judgments in the People’s Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL) vs Union of India case, access to food was effectively linked to the Right to Life under Article 21 of the Constitution. The enactment of the National Food Security Act (2013) converted welfare schemes into legal entitlements, guaranteeing subsidized food grains to nearly two-thirds of India’s population. This case illustrates how judicial intervention, constitutional rights, and welfare delivery can converge to address structural deprivation. While challenges like leakages and exclusion errors remain, the rights-based approach stre...
