DESCRIPTION
Human rights of Dalit and humanitarian law, once clearly distinguishable segments of international law, are increasingly being viewed in an integrated and holistic manner, where the individual has a continuum of protection under human rights law as well as that provided under humanitarian law, as warranted by the specific circumstances. There is a broad space for forging effective linkages between humanitarian assistance and human rights programmes. It is generally accepted in international legal standards that governments have to do more than just pass laws to protect human rights. The book is meant for covering the varied aspects of human rights of Dalits at national and international level.
