The UNHCR grilling of India during the Universal Periodic Review May 24. 2012.
1.
Is India
repealing Armed Forces (Special Powers)
Act and the Jammu & Kashmir Public Safety Act?
2.
How will the GOI
work to arrest the decline in sex ratio of 914 girls to 1000 boys, for children
aged 0-6 years?
How does the Government guarantee that freedom of
expression on internet is not un duly restricted?
1.
How & when
the Government will put a stop to Manual Scavenging?
2.
Is the right to
work only guaranteed to members of rural households (through MGNREGA); and if
yes, why?
1.
What measures are
being taken to ban labor for children
aged 6-14 years? (under Child Labor Act. 1986)
2.
How are the
families and employers of child workers encouraged to move them from work-place
to class-room? (under Right to Education law)
1.
Discrimination on
the basis of religion, cast & race as well as gender is prohibited by
Constitution, transgression with impunity is quotidian. How does the Government
intend to enforce the Rule of Law?
2.
Foreign
Contribution (regulation) Act guarantees that Human Rights Defenders are able
to carry out legitimate and peaceful activities; some amendments, however,
create problems for NGOs and their grantees that amount to harassment and
intimidation – by the Government itself. How is GOI taking cognizance of this?
1.
can
introspectively indulge in questioning itself
on Social Cost of Corruption,
2.
runaway
urbanization as well as inflation;
3.
and the widening
differential between rising livelihoods and the even faster rising cost of
living.
