Authors
Dr. Kusum Verma, Shruti Narwal
Abstract

Social justice refers to equal distribution of wealth, opportunities, and other privileges, and human rights as provided under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) are the rights that belong to humanity. These concepts are important in managing this increasing trend of inequalities that is evident both within and between countries across the world.

Though legal reforms have occurred but discriminations based on sex and caste still continue to exist. Such social taboos along with poverty are acting as a major barrier in achieving the constitutional goal of social justice in India.

The research paper will also provide strategies for the better implementation of human rights and social justice in Indian and global policy-making and governance. Overcoming such challenges is crucial for the country’s development and in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, especially engaging in global peace, democracy, and development as global peace and stability directly refers to harmony between humans and is essential for overall growth and development of mankind.

Methodology: The study is doctrinal in nature and tries to understand the principles and application of human rights in concurrence with social justice.

Purpose: This paper aims to explore the journey from rights to reality by examining the interplay between human rights and social justice in India, highlighting key legal provisions, international commitments, and the socio-political challenges that impede the realization of true equality. By analysing landmark cases, legislative frameworks, and real-world scenarios, the paper seeks to offer a comprehensive understanding of the gaps and propose actionable solutions to bridge them.
