duties created the problem. We endeavored to find out what and whose rights had been violated, and what remedies should ensue. In respect of the civil and political rights of the people, NHRC recommended that “The state has to be more humane”. 7. By means of the Strategic Plan, we realized that in this country with limited resources, if the scanty government allotment of any public service institution is responsibly expended, then the present amount of allotment is adequate to render more effective services to the people and to more meaningfully realize the economic social and cultural rights of the people. The present Commission from its start emphasized more on the economic and social rights because it has now been perceived beyond any doubt that in order to ensure the most prime right of the common people – right to life- there is no alternative to realizing the social and economic rights. We can proudly say that our policy and work plan has yielded fruitful results in the sense that at present the Non Government Human Rights organizations too are being more vocal about these rights vis-a-vis political and civil rights. 9. A large part of the NHRC workload during the reporting year accounted for a number of national consultation seminars as a preparation for the second round of Universal Periodic Review by the UN Human Rights Council where for the very first time NHRC as the national human rights institution submitted its stakeholder report. The way NHRC has conducted its activities has drawn appreciation both at the domestic and international levels and by way of this submission of report NHRC has appeared as a bright new star in the international arena too. These consultation seminars in the truest sense have been a glaring example of participatory democracy and brilliant endeavour to bring the idea of human rights at the door step of the common people. 8. It is a historical truth that it is always the state who is held liable for violation of human rights and more often for pilfering of civil and political rights and in this respect also the NHRC did not show any laxity in maintaining its duty during the tenure -the perpetrator of human rights violations whether it is an individual or an institution has been made accountable, measures have been taken to provide effective remedy to the aggrieved or victims, the concerned Government institutions has been recommended to take due measures for human rights protection. 10.In today's world, the prevalent human rights situation in a State has been recognized as the determinant of its civility. The NHRC report, once in every year, is not merely for the purpose of realization, practice, and development of the various traditional generations of human rights; on the contrary whenever any special situation occurred, NHRC did not play the role of passive spectator-we have relentlessly strived to make our presence felthowever limited it may be- relying upon our own strength as well as by way of conjuring assistance from others. With this intention, last year NHRC has jointly taken a number of initiatives with various inter-governmental and international organizations such as NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT, 2012 7
