The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) was established by law in the year 1993. Like the Indian judiciary, the NHRC is independent of the government. Its members are appointed by the President of India and the personnel includes retired judges, officers and eminent members of the civil society. The NHRC is responsible for conducting independent and credible inquiry into cases of violation of human rights, which include the rights guaranteed under the Constitution of India and the rights mentioned in the UN sponsored international treaties signed by the Indian government. The NHRC does not have the mandate to punish the guilty but it does inquire into cases of abetment or negligence of government officials in the matter of human rights violations. The Commission can present its findings and recommendations to the government or intervene on behalf of the victims in a court of law. It can summon witnesses, question government officials, demand official papers, visit prisons for inspection or send its own team for on-the-spot inquiries.

Answer 2

The Expression, “State Commission” is composed of two words namely, “State” and “Commission”.

The state in this context refers to a Political unit that forms part of a larger political entity with its separate but limited governance.

Commission here indicates a group comprising of certain individuals who have been assigned by the government to perform a specific task.

Thus the term, “State Commission” is group of individuals appointed by a local (state) government with the objective of performing a certain task.
