Abstract

The term human right has gained much importance in our age. It has become
common currency to the extent that, everyone speaks about it. However, in
spite of its importance and common use, it is a fact that it is rarely known what
the term stands for. Jurists and legal experts have used it in a different sense
compared to the lay public. It has been rightly stated by Roscoe Pound that
„there is no more ambiguous word in legal and juristic literature than the word
right‟.
