Prime Minister Rao's Dilemma: Terrorism and Human Rights in India
Teaching Human Rights Online, University of Cincinnati, USA
Supplied note:
"'Prime Minister Rao's Dilemma: Terrorism and Human Rights in India'
is an interactive website which presents P. V. Narasimha Rao's 1995
dilemma involving terrorism in the Indian states of Punjab and
Kashmir. Competing demands for justice and security pose moral, legal,
and political dilemmas that demand informed leadership. A.Should
Indian security laws be revised to comply with international human
rights standards or would submission to the U.N. compromise national
sovereignty? B.Should the government prosecute security officials for
gross human rights violations or grant amnesty to those who risked
their lives defending national unity? C.Should the government allow
more international monitors to visit Kashmir and Punjab or exclude
organizations that criticized tough security measures?
A second problem 'Women's Rights and Community Rights in India: The Shah Bano Case' will
be added by August 2000 to THRO: Teaching Human Rights Online (oz.uc.edu/thro)
