Human Rights Education is acquiring greater importance in the changing national and global scenario in the wake of globalization. It
leads to opening up new possibilities for realization of creative human potential. Today, there are about one hundred documents in the
form of Declarations, Conventions, Covenants and Treaties on human rights. The people all over the world should be enabled to
appreciate the development in science and technology vis-e-vis the human rights concerns. The growing technological changes are
impacting the human rights jurisprudence in terms of different challenges, e.g. the issues such as the regulation of cyberspace: right to
freedom of expression and information vis-e-vis right to privacy; Right to access of medicines of the masses vis-e-vis Right to Patent
medical innovations, et. al. Therefore, the purpose of having this course at the undergraduate level is to sensitize the future generation
of lawyers and judges towards the emerging human rights-based issues due to innovations in science and technology.
