India바카라s voice on the global stage can only gain in authority and credibility from a strong commitment to inclusivity and respect for human rights at home, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres said on Wednesday.
India must protect global human rights
Addressing students of the IIT Bombay, Guterres said, 바카라As an elected member of the Human Rights Council, India has a responsibility to shape global human rights, and to protect and promote the rights of all individuals, including members of minority communities.바카라
바카라The Indian model of plurality is based on a simple but profound understanding: diversity is a richness that makes your country stronger. That understanding is the birth right of every Indian, but it is not a guarantee. It must be nurtured, strengthened and renewed every day,바카라 Guterres said.
Gandhian values, condemning hate speech, protecting press freedom
This could be done by 바카라practicing the values of Mahatma Gandhi, by securing and upholding the rights and dignity of all people, especially the most vulnerable, by taking concrete action for inclusion, recognizing the enormous value and contributions of multi-cultural, multi-religious and multi-ethnic societies, and by condemning hate speech unequivocally,바카라 he said.
Guterres also stressed the need for protecting the rights and freedoms of journalists, human rights activists, students and academics, and by ensuring the continued independence of India바카라s judiciary.
"This is the India that the world has celebrated. I urge Indians to be vigilant and to increase your investments in inclusive, pluralistic, diverse communities and societies.바카라
바카라In India, as across the world, much more needs to be done to advance gender equality and women바카라s rights. This is a moral imperative, and it is also a multiplier for prosperity and sustainability. No society can reach its full potential without equal rights and freedoms for women, men, girls and boys,바카라 he said.
India has faced criticism from UN bodies in the recent past over its treatment of Muslim minorities in India, specifically against the backdrop of the Citizenship Amendment Act and the abrogation of Article 370, effected in 2019.
