A SYMBIOTIC RELATION BETWEEN HUMAN RIGHTS AND CONSUMER PROTECTION
Journal Title: Bharati Law Review - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
The word consumer is generic and broad, encompassing different categories of persons. The hirer, the buyer, the patient seeking medical services, the client seeking legal or other professional services, as well as the hotel guest, the commuter, the bank customer, and all end users of goods and services qualify as consumers. All people are entitled to some basic and natural rights which help them in having a purposeful existence in the society. These basic rights have been defined as human rights and have become the backbone of social life. The United Nations Guidelines for Consumer Protection, adopted in 1985 and revised in 1999, propose a list of objectives described as “legitimate needs”: right to be heard; right to information; right to safety; right to choose; right to consumer education; right to consumer redress; freedom to form consumer groups; promotion of sustainable consumption patterns; and promotion of economic interests of consumers.
