SOCIOLOGY OF HUMAN RIGHTS

We often look up to various branches of the state for certain deliverance of justice as in
instances when such justice is required and the state is expected to act in a certain manner.
The administrative structures perform certain functions which make us feel that we are under
certain institutional fold where certain mechanisms of justice are in place. If there are
political institutions are at work where certain activities can be understood as violence of
rights and there are certain mechanisms at place and if there are labyrinthine complexities of
jurisdiction to raise the question of violence of right to protest against or agree upon, bringing
out the questions of the state and its function in maintenance of condition under which
violence of human rights are addresses, it is likely that human rights are to be violates and
mechanisms tro address them also gives us further inputs, perspective to look at the
perception of human rights in a fresher manner. Human rights is something that gets
inscribed in the institutional folds and older within which we try to seek the idea of human
rights concepts and understand that its something we can hardly ignore. It is required to
address how certain violence are to be addressed and perceived upon. The very fact that we
are concerned with what it means to be societal does it empty the understanding of something
that is not essentially social but is further concentrated upon political science, jurisdiction,
public rights to work in the domain of human rights. Does sociology have anything to
contribute to this? What is it that sociology essentially deals with or is comprised of and what
exactly does it mean to be concerned with in context to the subject? If we are bound by
certain shackle of society then what would other social sciences be concerned with?
Something that is terribly political, legal, historical and requires specific speculation and
perceptions, including certain medieval forms of justice at present, there would be major
concern regarding their irrationality and improper measures. One is more likely to react with
absolute disgust and react to it at something which is beyond probabilities of synch with the
current state of affairs. Human rights is significantly a political question with the need to push
this forth in the category of public realm with the aim to let it be recognized as a significant
political question. Does sociology or do sociologists have anything to contribute primarily to
the scopes and aims presented by the subject matter focused on in context to human rights.
Sociology primarily concentrated upon kinship and its influence in society and its
peculiarities. We need to perhaps rethink in the ways it can understand or reundertsnad
sociology beyond the limits of sociological folds. To understand how all of this constituent
the essentials and foundation of the essence of human rights. Is it a political question that is
emptied of its social context? Where they are ignored or recognized they invite certain
importance contexts of attentions. It is that which perhaps makes us wonder if there is
anything that exists beyond governmental, constitutional or institutional boundaries of social
science and human rights. Human rights violence is attended and addressed with absolute
attentiveness. In other words, in defence of the ordinary that which often gets inscribed to the
social but is so down to a common place acceptance and turned mundane that we hardly
recognize its human rights violence facilitations and significance. Methodologically speaking
one is to break down the structure which are so used to perceive as bigger structure that try to
keep up the promise of human rights. Can this mechanism of institute be understood in their
manifestation to the very core of common place understanding of the state with speculative
understanding of the basis of violation and human rights which are primarily ignored that
consequently? In the notion of family which in the early 60s and 70s dominated social
sciences, the articulation of jointness highlights state and the emergence oof nuclear family
somewhere strongly involves the state and its implementation probabilities in these changes.
Hierarchies are created. Here we do not talk about human rights or their violation, in context
to families which directly, unknowingly are parts of the state and are controlled primarily and
run by the normalized discourse of state, ignoring the extreme division of labour and
subjugation in families. We have often hidden behind certain forms of intuitional operation in
defence of the common, mundane and conventionally popularised and normalised. The way
in which the soviet way of the world collapse it brought to light how political economy
should function. Also, in the same breath, somewhere along the line there has been rethinking
how individuals could compensate for the previous actions of the state. Present realisations
have brought along a shift in the power of governance, influencing neoliberal groundwork,
rethinking of development. In this whole evolution of mushrooming of NGOs, there has been
seen an emergence of three compartmentalisations: the state, the market and then the NGO,
kind of a trinity model, state is political market is economical and NGOs compartmentalised
for social factors. The left discourse in India, the way it had entered the political contents in
Bengal, Kerala and Tripura, they presented extreme criticism against NGOs, even after such
institutions continuously depoliticising their foundations. These people they were doing
conscientisation, empowerment, development, capacity building, deliberately separating their
activities from political aspects. In what sense does when understand these works when they
have always hidden behind the routines activities which they thought would project their
work as being completely social, how they could they think of development but hide away
from political involvements? The informal microfinance groups, the moment micro is
attached to the prominence of finance, it no longer important enough to threaten market in a
macro scale but be completely emptied of its political context. The moment we present
focused group interaction, we are not looking at any major collective which would have the
opportunity of running counter to the state. In this manner, the question of human rights is
exhausted of all its imaginings, all dimensions, and where sociology begins to induce
rethinking from its domain. The sociality and complexities of human rights. If we think of
human rights as being informed by certain governmentalities which are made available to
people then the question which demands an enquiry, does this formal channel of
understanding of human rights exhaust this particular subject of all its dimensions,
governmentalities and liabilities? Does it misguide the context in a stricter and specific
manner and taken not of, to terminologically misguide the common mass towards being
unaware of significant mechanisms of institutions that directly impact the whole
understanding and implementation of the fundamental practicality of human rights? Though
corruption could be identified, addressed, stopped, the systematised impositions of the justice
mechanism are brought to bear upon in such a manner which have turned corruption into
being normalised to the point that human rights are collectively violated as a common
occurrence. The institutional which have we long held to be typically social essentially
require to be rethought and reconstructed to conceptually redefine the extent and liability to
which social and societal contexts are responsible for the subjugation and ignorance of the
probabilities of human rights implications.
