National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) Chairperson, Justice Arun Mishra emphasized the significance of distributive justice for upholding socio-economic rights. Inaugurating the online short-term internship of the Commission in New Delhi yesterday, Justice Mishra said that India has a rich tradition of cultural assimilations having respect for human rights. He further added, this ethos needs to be strengthened to address issues like bonded labour, human trafficking and cybercrime. He cautioned against the digital divide and misuse of cyberspace for criminal activities.
The internship will conclude on the 10th of May. Eighty university-level students from diverse academic backgrounds are attending the internship. It aims to provide an enriching experience for interns, featuring virtual tours to prisons, shelter homes, and NGOs and engaging competitions and sessions led by esteemed guests from various fields.
