Abstract
"Thomas Paine stated, "All men are created equal, with equal inherent rights." In contrast, Rousseau remarked, "Man was born free, yet he is tied everywhere." For-profit, one was enslaved by another man and "bought and sold like an ordinary piece of goods." Tyrannical regimes suffocated his freedom. In 1776, the "American Declaration of Independence" said, "Men are born equal and endowed with certain inherent rights, such as the right to life, liberty, and happiness." The "French Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen," published in 1789, stated that "all men are born free and equal in rights" and that "all men are born and remain free and equal in rights”. The terrible two World Wars and other liberation movements prompted the establishment of an international agency to ensure world peace and order. Following these occurrences, there was a need to safeguard some inherent rights human beings possess at the international level. The United Nations charter laid the groundwork for human rights, and the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" was signed in 1948 to codify those ideas. According to the declaration, human beings are born free and have equal dignity and rights. Among other things, they all have the right to life, liberty, and personal security. "In 1993, the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action said, "All human rights are universal, indivisible, interdependent, and interconnected." However, the world has witnessed numerous instances in which human rights have been flagrantly violated, casting doubt on their very existence and integrity. The purpose of this paper is to make strenuous efforts to conduct a cursory study of what is right, natural law, and natural/fundamental rights, traversing through three stages of human rights evolution, four-pillared threegeneration, and new generation human rights, highlighting how human rights are violently violated, and concluding with a conclusion. In addition, the article attempts to comprehend how the Indian judiciary saw and tried to safeguard the core of human rights when interpreting the Constitution.
