Human rights are inherent to all humans, regardless of attributes, and include rights to life, liberty, freedom from slavery, and more. The UN General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. India's 1950 constitution secured justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity for all citizens and included fundamental rights like equality, freedom of religion, and constitutional remedies. While security forces have powers like arrest and search without warrant against anti-national elements, they must respect human rights and not use excessive force or detain people longer than necessary. There is a debate around balancing the human rights of civilians and security forces performing their duties.

forces becomes a massacre
by the security forces and
every act of a terrorist or
insurgent is attributed as
colossal failure of security.

10. ARGUMENT IN FAVOUR
•WEARING UNIFORM DOES NOT TAKE AWAY THE
HUMAN RIGHTS OF THE ARMED FORCES
PERSONNEL. A SOLDIER IS AS MUCH HUMAN AS
ANYBODY ELSE.
•ARMED FORCE PERSONNEL ARE ALSO CITIZEN OF
INDIA AND THEIR BASIC RIGHTS SHOULD ALSO BE
PROTECTED.
•SOME COUNTRIES LIKE CHINA, ISRAEL ALLOW THE
USE OF FIREARMS AGAINST STONE PELTERS OR
ARMED CIVILIAN.

11. ARGUMENT IN FAVOUR
•MANY A TIMES IT IS SEEN THAT THE HUMAN
RIGHTS OF A SOLDIER GET VIOLATED BY A
MOB WHEN HE IS PERFORMING HIS
LEGITIMATE DUTY.
•DEATH OF SOLDIERS BECAUSE OF STONE
PELTING IN KASHMIR IS AN EXAMPLE.
•IT HAS BEEN SEEN THAT STATES GENERALLY
GO IN FAVOR OF CIVILIAN THAN THAT OF A
SOLDIER.

12. WAY FORWARD
•A CLEARCUT POLICY ON THE
RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF SECURITY
FORCES WHILE FACING AN UNRULY
MOB CAN BE SOLUTION.
•EFFECTIVE IMPLEMENTATION OF
THE LAW IS REQUIRED TO MAKE
THOSE FEEL SAFE WHO MAKE THE
ENTIRE NATION FEEL SAFE.

13. ARGUMENT IN FAVOUR
The supreme
court agreed to
examine a plea
seeking
protection of
human rights of
security force
personnel who
come under
attack by mobs
while performing
their duties.
