seen as an essential foundation for building a world in which all
human beings can, in the centuries to come, look forward to living

the cornerstone for modern day human rights within the framework of
the United Nations.

beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime.

Real Incidents of honor killing in India
What is the supreme court or the international court doing about
honor killing?NEW DELHI: Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh have joined
18 other states to empower the Centre to bring a legislation
against honor killings, in what could be a turnaround moment for
the effort to curb the powers of caste, religion and creed.The
Supreme Court suggested its amicus curiae(allotted lawyer on behalf
of government) to devise a strict legal regime to contain honour
killings, wherein the focus should be on enforcing orders against
khap panchayats rather than on securing the arrest of its members
that often leads to law and order problems."In our opinion honour
killings, for whatever reason, come within the category of rarest
of rare cases deserving death punishment. It is time to stamp out
these barbaric, feudal practices which are a slur on our nation,"
the Supreme Court said in a judgement.
