Updated: Apr 9, 2023

Vaijayanti Banerjee* and Nimisha Sharma**


ABSTRACT:

Human Rights is a concept derived out of law initially to protect people with their property but eventually protecting all men and women. With the help of such rights, one can be ensured that under no circumstances a human being expected will be treated without dignity or unprotected from their natural rights. Any situation where a person’s dignity is questioned is a violation of their Human Rights. Any such violation is the beginning of the struggle for justice. Under no circumstances it is justified to deprive a person of their Human Rights in the ordinary course of events of life. The point where normalcy reaches a point beyond restraint is when it becomes a crisis. Any kind of crisis that harms the basic rights of a human becomes a human crisis which directly questions the state of affairs causing the harm.

Through this paper, the authors shall examine what exactly is meant by Human Rights, Human Crisis and whether or not it is realistic to hold a single country responsible for such a crisis or are all to be blamed equally.

The purpose of this paper is to bridge the gap of clarity and awareness regarding Human Crisis and the way Human Rights are dealt with during a time of crisis keeping in mind the economic conditions of the country and the policies to protect the interests of the citizens. Along with this, the political scheme that takes place parallel to such a crisis.

Keywords: China, covid19, comparative analysis of superpowers, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, education, Right To Education, Right to Food, Financial schemes, USA, Skilled and Unskilled labour.
