Description

The current paper examines how the international human rights frameworks are coming together with the idea to introduce a Uniform Civil Code in India. Though India has ratified major human rights treaties and subscribes to the constitutional ideals of equality and non-discrimination, due to high demographic diversity, the personal laws in the country have created inconsistencies in the country. Through a scrupulous textual critique, the paper illustrates that mechanisms like Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights  require states to ensure the security of the civil rights on an even-handed footing, and how India could follow up on a Uniform Civil Code to meet its international obligations.
