## L.S.US.Q.NO. 1398 FOR 25.07.2017

(b)  Human  rights  are  effectively  protected  and  promoted  by  a  robust framework  of  laws  and  institutions at the national level,  besides  an independent  and  integrated  judicial  mechanism.  The  Protection  of  Human Rights Act, 1993, enacted by the Parliament, provides for constitution of the NHRC, State Human Rights Commissions and Human Rights Courts for better protection  of  human  rights.  The  Constitution  of  India  empowers  the  State Governments to formulate laws, rules, regulations etc. for ensuring transparency in investigation in cases involving human rights violations. The State Governments also have the responsibility of implementing the central laws and directions relating to the protection of human rights.
