New Delhi: The Jamia
Millia Islamia would be setting up a human rights cell to advance
the cause of human rights and justice in India, a statement said
here Friday.
A core group, guided by the constituent principles of human rights
discourse, has been constituted by Vice Chancellor Najeeb Jung "to
work out the scope of work, terms of references and the
administrative structure" of the cell.
"The group will consult members of Jamia community including
students, teacher and non-teaching staff in this regard. It will
work on an on-going basis to advance the cause of human rights and
justice in India and will engage in a range of activities," said
the statement.
The activities include: development and utilization of web-based
technologies to advance human rights; conferences, roundtable
discussions, and speakers series focused on developing a
breakthrough understanding of particular human rights challenges;
and field research in conflict and post-conflict societies.
As per the University, "it will utilize the best scholarship and
analyses of human rights from the fields of law, politics,
sociology, history, and economics to set its agenda and select
human rights opportunities to pursue".
