Human Right
Human rights are fundamental rights and freedoms that every person is entitled to,
simply by being human. These rights are universal, meaning they apply to all people,
regardless of nationality, ethnicity, gender, religion, or any other status. They are
based on the principle of equality and non-discrimination.
Human rights encompass a wide range of rights, including:

1. Civil and Political Rights: These include the right to life, freedom of speech,
the right to vote, freedom of assembly, the right to a fair trial, and protection
from torture and unfair imprisonment.
2. Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights: These include the right to education,
the right to work and receive fair wages, the right to health care, the right to
adequate housing, and the right to participate in cultural life.
3. Collective Rights: These refer to the rights of communities, groups, or nations,
such as the right to self-determination or the right to protection from
colonialism.

Human rights are enshrined in international laws and declarations, such as:

 The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) adopted by the United

Nations in 1948.
 International Covenants on Civil and Political Rights, and Economic, Social,
and Cultural Rights.

The goal of human rights laws is to protect individuals' dignity, freedom, and
equality, and to ensure that all people are treated fairly and justly, without
discrimination or persecution.

Procedure of filling complaint

1. Filing of Complaints:

 Complaint Submission: The process begins with the filing of a complaint by

the aggrieved person, their legal representative, or any other person on their
behalf. Complaints can be submitted online, through mail, or in person at the
UPHRC office.
  Format: The complaint should be written in a clear and concise manner,
providing details of the human rights violation, including the date, time, place,
and nature of the violation.
 Time Limit: The complaint should generally be submitted within one year
from the date of the incident, unless there is a valid reason for the delay. In
exceptional cases, the Commission may extend this time limit.

2. Preliminary Scrutiny:

 Initial Review: Once the complaint is received, the Commission conducts a

preliminary review to determine whether the complaint falls within its
jurisdiction. The Commission can take suo-motu action (initiate action on its
own) in case of serious human rights violations, even without a formal
complaint.
 Jurisdiction Check: The complaint must involve a violation of human rights
committed by public authorities or agencies, as the Commission primarily
deals with cases where government actions or inactions result in human rights
violations.

3. Registration of Complaint:

 If the complaint is found to be valid, it is registered as a case. The complainant

is informed about the registration of the case, and a reference number is
assigned to the complaint for future correspondence.

4. Investigation and Inquiry:

 Notice to Authorities: The Commission may issue a notice to the concerned

authorities (police, government officials, etc.) to submit their response to the
complaint within a specified time frame.
 Evidence Collection: The Commission may call for documents, reports, and
other relevant information related to the case. It may also conduct
investigations or visit the location where the violation occurred (such as
prisons, detention centers, etc.).
 Examination of Evidence: The Commission evaluates the evidence, including
testimonies, reports, and any other material facts submitted by the
complainant or the authorities.

5. Hearing and Final Report:

  Public Hearings: In some cases, the Commission may conduct public hearings
to examine the facts and ensure that all concerned parties are heard.
Complainants, witnesses, and the concerned authorities are called to provide
their accounts.
 Recommendations: After conducting the inquiry, the Commission may issue
recommendations or guidelines for the concerned authorities to follow,
ensuring that the violation is rectified, and measures are put in place to
prevent such occurrences in the future.
 Interim Relief: If required, the Commission may recommend interim relief to
the victim, such as compensation or protective measures, pending the final
decision.

6. Action and Follow-Up:

 Follow-Up on Compliance: If the Commission's recommendations are not

implemented by the concerned authorities, it can pursue legal action or
request the matter to be reviewed by higher authorities.
 Enforcement: While the Commission does not have the power to enforce its
orders, it can refer the matter to higher courts or other authorities for
compliance.

7. Reporting:

 Annual Reports: The Commission submits annual reports to the government,

detailing the cases handled, outcomes, and recommendations. These reports
are also made available to the public for transparency.

8. Appeal:

 If the complainant is dissatisfied with the Commission’s recommendations or

findings, they can challenge the decision before a higher authority or
approach the court for judicial review.

 Week 1: 3nd December 2024 to 6th December 2024
The first day of the internship week started with interviews for all the interns, which were
conducted by Alpana Ma'am, HJS. It was a great opportunity for everyone to introduce
themselves, talk about their backgrounds, and share what they hoped to gain from the
internship.

On the following day, the internship batch, which consisted of 36 students, was divided
into nine groups, each comprising four members to ensure effective collaboration and
project management throughout internship period.

My group included Alok Mishra (me), Harshita Shukla, Shivendra Mishra, and Kiran
Mishra. Once the groups were allocated, specific projects were assigned to each group.
Our group was entrusted with two significant projects: Wildlife Forensics and Human
Rights: Is It a White Man’s Burden?

The first project, Wildlife Forensics, involves exploring the application of forensic science in
wildlife conservation and investigating crimes related to wildlife, such as poaching and
illegal trade. The second project, Human Rights: Is It a White Man’s Burden? required us to
delve into the historical, social, and legal dimensions of human rights, critically examining
whether the concept remains rooted in colonial perspectives or has evolved into a
universal framework for justice. Our group was tasked with preparing detailed project
work for both topics, requiring in-depth research, analysis, and well-structured action plans
to ensure meaningful contributions to these subjects.

Midweek, we attended an insightful lecture delivered by Ma’am on the Uttar Pradesh

Human Rights Commission (UPHRC). The session provided valuable insights into the
Commission’s functioning, mandate, and procedures, along with its critical role in
safeguarding human rights and addressing violations within the state.

The week also involved multiple team discussions, where we exchanged ideas, identified
necessary resources, and planned schedules to ensure the efficient execution of our tasks.

Week 2: 9th December 2024 to 13th December 2024

This week, we delved into learning the entire procedure for managing complaints at
UPHRC. We were introduced to the entire process, from the receipt of complaints to their
final disposal. This included gaining insights into the various departments that handle
specific types of cases, their responsibilities, and how complaints are categorized and
processed.
On December 10th, we participated in the Human Rights Day program organized by the
Commission. This special event featured speeches by senior members and guest speakers
who emphasized the significance of human rights and the ongoing global efforts to address
violations. Interns were encouraged to engage in interactive sessions, which provided a
deeper understanding of the challenges related to human rights advocacy.

Later in the week, we visited the Record Room, where we were introduced to the
systematic organization of case files, including indexing, archiving, and retrieval
procedures. This tour allowed us to appreciate the meticulous efforts behind maintaining
the integrity of case documentation.

Alpana Shukla Ma’am delivered a detailed lecture about the objectives and importance of
our assigned projects. This lecture was followed by interactive discussions, where Ma’am
provided valuable guidance, addressed queries, and helped us refine our approaches.

Week 3: 16th December 2024 to 20th December 2024

Another valuable experience this week was our visit to the Rajkiya Mahila Sharnalaya in
Lucknow. We gained insights into its procedures, the critical services it provides to women
in distress, and the role it plays in addressing their grievances.

On December 16th, we had the privilege of visiting the Mahila Ayog, where we gained
firsthand knowledge about the Commission's procedures and its role in tackling women’s
grievances. This visit was an eye-opener, highlighting the Commission’s efforts in
empowering women and advocating for their rights.

Later, we observed proceedings in the office of the Hon'ble Justice Rajiv Lochan Mehrotra
Sir. We reviewed ongoing cases, understood how deliberations were conducted, and
observed the protocols followed during case handling. This experience was vital in
understanding the operational aspects of the Commission.

As part of our training, we analyzed several case files, focusing on identifying key details
and summarizing essential points. Additionally, we participated in a session on proper
complaint registration, ensuring accuracy and adherence to protocol.

Week 4: 23rd December 2024 to 27th December 2024

A major highlight this week was our visit to the Dial 112 Headquarters on December
23rd. During this visit, we observed real-time operations and how complaints were
received and processed. A comprehensive presentation showcased the
technological advancements in Dial 112’s operations and the collaboration between
different agencies to ensure prompt emergency responses.
We also engaged in practical sessions focused on summarizing case files. This
exercise sharpened our skills in drafting concise summaries that highlighted the
most relevant details, enhancing our understanding of case documentation.

Throughout the week, we continued our research at the library, which provided
valuable resources for our projects, especially on the subjects of wildlife forensics
and human rights. We reviewed old project reports and academic papers to deepen
our understanding of these topics.

Additionally, senior members delivered lectures on critical topics such as emergency

response, public safety, and the integration of technology in governance, which
further enhanced our knowledge of the role technology plays in public
administration.

Week 5: 30th December 2024 & 31nd January 2025

In the final week, we continued analyzing case files, focusing on identifying recurring
patterns and common challenges. This helped us develop a better understanding of
the complexities involved in case handling and dispute resolution.

Ma’am delivered a final lecture summarizing the key learning points from the
internship. She provided essential tips on professional development, stressing the
importance of further research and continuous learning. This was an inspiring
session that motivated us to pursue further academic and professional endeavors.

The internship concluded with the submission of our group project. We presented
our findings on wildlife forensics and the exploration of human rights in the context
of global and local challenges. The panel's feedback was constructive and offered
useful suggestions for further refinement.

As we wrapped up our internship, we reflected on the overall experience in group

discussions. The conversations highlighted key learnings, challenges faced, and
takeaways that would guide us in our future careers.

Internship Experience
This internship provided me with a unique opportunity to apply my academic
knowledge in real-world settings, specifically in the realm of human rights and
institutional governance. As a law student, this experience deepened my
understanding of the legal frameworks that protect citizens' rights and the
complexities involved in case management.
One of the highlights was the visit to Rajkiya Mahila Sharnalaya in Lucknow. This
government-run shelter home serves as a sanctuary for women in distress, providing
critical support such as counseling, vocational training, legal aid, and healthcare.
Observing the institution's efforts to rehabilitate and empower women gave me a
deeper appreciation of the challenges faced by vulnerable populations and the
systemic solutions aimed at addressing their needs. Similarly, the visit to the
Women’s Rights Commission (Mahila Ayog) illuminated the Commission’s pivotal
role in handling grievances and advocating for women's empowerment. These
experiences underscored the importance of legal mechanisms and proactive
governance in safeguarding women's rights.

Another impactful experience was the visit to Dial 112 Headquarters, where I gained
firsthand knowledge of the operational framework of Uttar Pradesh’s emergency
response system. Observing real-time complaint handling, technological integration
such as GPS-enabled tracking, and inter-agency collaboration was inspiring. It
highlighted the efficiency of public safety mechanisms and the importance of
community engagement in emergency management. I was particularly impressed by
initiatives like the Shakti Button for women’s safety and the ongoing efforts to
extend services to rural areas.

Throughout the internship, I worked on projects related to wildlife forensics and

human rights, which allowed me to delve into critical research topics. Analyzing case
files and drafting concise summaries enhanced my legal research and writing skills.
These tasks honed my attention to detail and understanding of procedural accuracy,
which are vital for a career in law. Additionally, attending lectures by senior officials,
including Alpana Shukla Ma’am, deepened my knowledge of case management, the
intricacies of institutional governance, and the importance of inter-departmental
coordination.

The collaborative environment with my peers was another enriching aspect.

Working together on projects, brainstorming solutions, and participating in
discussions fostered teamwork and problem-solving skills. The guidance and
mentorship of experienced professionals throughout the internship provided a clear
perspective on the practical challenges and ethical responsibilities in the legal field.

Overall, this internship was an eye-opening and transformative experience that not
