One Day National Seminar On Human Rights Education Organized by Department of Laws Himachal Pradesh University, Summerhill, Shimla-171005 on 11 th May, 2018 INTRODUCTION Human Rights Education (HRE) has evolved as a recognised discipline of Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Convention on Rights of Child, Cairo Declaration on Human Rights, Vienna Declaration and Program of Action 1993 and UN Decade for Human Rights Education which established the World Program for Human Rights Education. Human Rights Education is an integral part of the Right to Education. Knowledge of rights and freedoms is considered as fundamental tool to guarantee respect for the rights of all others. Quality education based on a human rights approach encompasses values such as peace, non-discrimination, equality, justice, non-violence, tolerance, democracy and modernity together with respect for cultural and religious diversity. It is the individual, social and collective responsibility of all, irrespective of their religion, culture and faith, to protect the rights of others, irrespective of one s caste, colour, sex or social position. It is undisputed fact that human rights norms and principles promote mutual respect for diversity, enhances tolerance and provides a basis for peoplecentered human, social, cultural and economic development of diverse societies. It is important to manage diversity for creating an environment conducive for resolving conflicts among people and nations as well as peace-building and peace sustaining. Economic integration and advancement in communication has brought the world closer in which human rights are increasingly recognized as a unifying moral force. Common universal value system devoted to protect human dignity and development of human personality, enables all persons to participate effectively in a free society, promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations, racial, ethnic or religious groups and to further the maintenance of peace. Human

Rights Education, in accordance with the principles of the universality, indivisibility and interdependence of human rights, is essential for the promotion of universal respect for all human rights and fundamental freedoms. HRE can effectively combat the existing ills of extremism, terrorism and violence based on race and in the name of religion as well as promotes multicultural, tolerant and progressive societies. It fosters learning environments which encourage full development of human personality, mutual respect and learning to live together with appreciation of cultural diversity. HRE enhances promotion of human rights, fundamental freedoms, good governance, rule of law and accountability. It addresses the issues of gender equality and equity, cultural diversity, interfaith dialogue, prevention of violence, and elimination of stereotypes. Active and responsible citizens need support and information through HRE to make informed moral choices and take principled positions on all issues, and uphold human dignity. Intrinsic strength of religion in promoting tolerance, respect for others and good moral behaviour needs to be highlighted and linked to human rights values. Religious institutions may be brought into the mainstream educational fold through formal linkages with the relevant departments/institutions of religious affairs and education. Universally recognized human rights values, culture of peace, democratic citizenship can achieve sustainable development. This seminar is structured to further focus on Human Rights Education and its impact on law making, law enforcement and interpretation of law. It is providing a solid platform to discuss the issues to mainstream the concept of human rights in the works of the government.
