Discussion
Statement : National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) of India is responsible for the protection and promotion of Human Rights, defined by the Act as rights relating to life, liberty, equality and dignity of the individual guaranteed by the Constitution or embodied in the International Covenants.
Argument I : On the violation of Human Rights, NHRC can initiate an inquiry on their own or against a petition filed by a victim.
Argument II : NHRC promotes and undertakes research about the Human Right issues.
Answer: C
Arguments I and II are both strong.
Both arguments accurately describe how the NHRC carries out the role set out in the statement. Under the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993, the Commission can inquire into a violation of human rights on its own motion or on a petition presented by a victim or on the victim's behalf, which is argument I, and it is required to undertake and promote research in the field of human rights, which is argument II.
Each therefore directly supports the statement that the NHRC protects and promotes human rights, one on the protection side and one on the promotion side, so options rating only one of them, or neither, as strong are wrong.
