Currently, various commissions operate independently, each focusing on a specific aspect of human rights for different marginalized groups. However, the fragmented nature of these commissions often results in inefficiencies, redundancies, and the dilution of their overall impact. In order to streamline and enhance the effectiveness of human rights protection, the proposition of merging all these commissions under a single umbrella Human Rights Commission warrants careful consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consolidating the existing commissions into a unified entity would provide several advantages. First and foremost, it would eliminate the problem of overlapping jurisdiction, reducing confusion and ensuring a more coherent approach to addressing human rights violations across diverse groups. The consolidation would also result in a more efficient allocation of resources, avoiding the duplication of functions and allowing for a more focused and impactful utilization of funds and manpower. Additionally, a centralized Human Rights Commission could foster a comprehensive understanding of the interconnected issues faced by different vulnerable sections, facilitating a more holistic and integrated approach to policy formulation and implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Tag:<\/strong> Welfare schemes
