Human rights in the Indian criminal justice system: women and children
Other Publication ResearchOnline@JCUAbstract
[Extract] The fundamental rights in the Indian Constitution are meant to guarantee its citizens individual rights common to most liberal democracies, such as equality before the law, freedom of speech and expression, freedom of association and peaceful assembly, freedom of religion and the right to constitutional remedies for the protection of civil rights. In the most ideal context, while rights remain enshrined in the Constitution, the realisation of many of these is set out in the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) as well as the fundamental duties contained in the sections of the Constitution of India that prescribe the obligations of the various states within the Union of India to its citizens, and the duties of the citizens to the state. Although, the DPSP sections are pivotal elements of the Constitution, they remain ironically unenforceable. These fundamental duties are sometimes described as the moral obligations of all citizens to help promote a spirit of patriotism, and to hold the country's unity.
