AGARTALA, February 1 (TIWN): Tripura district level police today staged a debate competition on human rights protection to ensure larger freedom of an individual. The debate competition was held at Agartala AD Nagar Police line conference hall.

  The district level police officers comprising of Sub-Inspectors (SI), Officer In-charges (OC) of the district level police stations and TSR commandants participated in the debate competition, where a section of police officers had debated for the motion of the Human rights protection to ensure larger freedom of an individual and the rest of the participants had debated against its motion.

However, the participants today during the completion held at Agartala AD Nagar police line expressed their own individual thought in regard of the topic given to them.

Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are considered entitled: the right to life, liberty, freedom of thought and expression, and equal treatment before the law, among others. These rights represent entitlements of the individual or groups vis-B-vis the government, as well as responsibilities of the individual and the government authorities.

Such rights are ascribed "naturally," which means that they are not earned and cannot be denied on the basis of race, creed, ethnicity or gender. These rights are often advanced as legal rights and protected by the rule of law. However, they are distinct from and prior to law, and can be used as standards for formulating or criticizing both local and international law. It is typically thought that the conduct of governments and military forces must comply with these standards.

While human rights are not always interpreted similarly across societies, these norms nonetheless form a common human rights vocabulary in which the claims of various cultures can be articulated.
