Question

(i) Role and impact of social media in promotion and protection of Human rights.

Answer 1

The concept of Human Rights has arisen from that of natural rights of all human. The belief that every person by virtue of his humanity is entitled to certain natural rights is a recurring theme throughout the history of mankind. It can be traced back thousands of years from the Vedas to the Hammurabai Code to the Magna Carta, the French Declaration of Human Rights, and the American Bill of Rights. Time and again history shows that the existence of human rights has been recognised and accepted as a necessary component for the well being of civilisation at any given time.
