10. In a recent lecture delivered to the Human Rights functionaries in a function organised by Madhya Pradesh Human Rights Commission at Bhopal on 02.9.2006, the Hon'ble Justice Y.K.Sabharwal (since retired) brought out the purpose behind the creation of Human Rights Commission. It is useful to quote the following passage from the speech delivered by him.
"Human rights movement in the free world reached a landmark when UN General Assembly adopted a resolution, in December 1993, to endorse "Paris Principals of 1991" that mooted the idea of establishing institutions designed to provide "guidance and directions" for affording "better protection of human rights". In the wake of these developments India, committed to "respect for international law and treaty obligations in the dealings of organised people with one another", enacted the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993, with a view to bring about greater accountability and strengthen the dominion of human rights in the country.
