Protection of Human Rights (Amendment) Act	2019	The 2019 amendment significantly strengthened the human rights protection framework by expanding the definition of human rights to explicitly include economic, social, and cultural rights. It mandated inclusion of women and members from Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, minorities, and other vulnerable groups in commission composition. The amendment also included chairpersons of various national commissions as deemed members of NHRC and enhanced coordination mechanisms between national and state commissions.	The amendment brought Indian human rights legislation closer to international standards, improved representation of marginalized groups in commissions, and strengthened institutional coordination. It expanded the scope of human rights violations that commissions can investigate and enhanced their role in monitoring implementation of international human rights treaties.
