Abstract

The chapter links human rights international standards and institutions to grass-roots human rights culture and its impact on social cohesion in South Asia. It begins with the analysis of the linkage between the concepts of human rights and social cohesion and draws attention to some complementarity of both concepts. Then it analyses how the international human rights standards and associated implementation machinery could be used to advance social cohesion around the world. The chapter analyses the contemporary social cohesion trends globally and in South Asia, and examines the role of National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) in advancing human rights culture.
