Explanation:

Human Rights are the rights inherent to all human beings, regardless of race, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, or any other status.

These include the right to life and liberty, freedom from slavery and torture, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to work and education, and many more.

The provisions related to Human Rights are enunciated in the Constitution of India via

Fundamental Rights (Part-III): Articles 12 to 35 of the Constitution.
Directive Principles of State Policy (Part-IV): Article 36 to 51 of the Constitution.
The Protection of Human Rights Act (PHRA), 1993 provided for the constitution of a National Human Rights Commission at the Union level, which steers State Human Rights Commission in States and Human Rights Courts for better protection of Human Rights and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto.
Moreover, India took active part in drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).

Hence both statements are correct.
