https://lawtimesjournal.in/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/UNHRC-Commissioner-1.jpg1200628The Ministry of External Affairs responded by saying that violations of law cannot be condoned on the pretext of human rights. The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet appealed to the government of India to safeguard the rights of human rights defenders and NGOs and their ability to carry out their crucial work in behalf of the many groups they represent. It was also expressed regret at the tightening of space for human rights NGOs in particular, including by the application of vaguely worded laws that constrain NGO’s activities and restrict foreign funding.
