The Law Commission of India (LCI) commemorated International Human Rights Day with a special programme on the afternoon of December 12, with Shri Arjun Ram Meghwal, Hon\u2019ble Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Law & Justice, as the Chief Guest. The event centred on the theme \u201c\u092e\u093e\u0928\u0935\u093e\u0927\u093f\u0915\u093e\u0930, \u092d\u093e\u0930\u0924\u0940\u092f \u092a\u0930\u0902\u092a\u0930\u093e \u0915\u0940 \u0928\u093f\u0930\u0902\u0924\u0930\u0924\u093e (Human Rights as Continuity of Indian Tradition)\u201d, reflecting India\u2019s civilisational approach to dignity and rights.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The programme commenced with the recitation of Vande Mataram, followed by a welcome address by Justice (Retd.) Dinesh Maheshwari, Chairperson, LCI, who highlighted the relevance of India\u2019s cultural and legal traditions in shaping contemporary human-rights discourse.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Addressing the gathering, the Hon\u2019ble Minister spoke about how ideas of human dignity and ethical conduct have been articulated across India\u2019s civilisational journey, drawing from the teachings of thinkers and great leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi, Swami Vivekananda and Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar. Shri Meghwal referred to Dr. B. R. Ambedkar as the champion of human rights in India.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The deliberations further focused on the idea that human rights in India have long formed part of the country\u2019s philosophical and cultural tradition. Concepts such as Universal Human Dignity, Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, fraternity and duty were noted to have clear continuities with the values embodied in the Constitution.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As part of the observance, the Law Commission had organised an essay competition on December 10, on the theme \u201cEnsuring Everyday Essentials: Public Services and Dignity for All\u201d, for all its officers and officials. Shri Meghwal felicitated the winners and appreciated the thoughtful submissions received from officers, legal consultants and interns associated with the Commission. He also engaged in an interaction with officials of the Commission.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The programme concluded with a vote of thanks by Prof. D.P. Verma, Member, LCI, followed by the recitation of Vande Mataram. The Law Commission of India expressed its sincere appreciation to Hon\u2019ble Shri Meghwal for his gracious presence and for steering the discussion with his balance and insight.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
