Tamil Nadu, April 22 (MExN): “The impact of science and technology in the evolving fourth generation human rights is a subject of study that legal professionals have to focus,” said Justice V Ramasubramanian, Chairperson of National Human Rights Commission.
Delivering the 19th Nani Palkhivala Memorial Lecture at the School of Law, SASTRA Deemed University in Thanjavur, he outlined the somatic and digital rights as the two fourth generation rights categories influenced by various scientific and technological developments.
“There is also the possibility of old rights being impacted along with old values,” said Justice V Ramasubramanian. He advised the young students of law to approach the subject with nuanced balance and make informed decisions as there is no course correction for a wrong decision at final stage of justice as its possible in science.
Dr S Vaidhyasubramaniam, Vice-Chancellor of SASTRA welcomed the gathering.
