Today, in the modern world, the concept of human rights has assumed universal proportion, accepted virtually by all states and societies regardless of historical, cultural, ideological, economic or other differences. Many nations in the world are concerned with the protection and assurance of fundamental human rights in its various manifestations and dimensions. As human right violation is a matter of individual and personal tragedy, which creates conditions of unrest sowing the seed of violence, therefore, promotion and safeguarding of human rights is the most challenging task ahead of this era.
