Enabling a law Supreme Court’s timeline to ensure full access for the disabled to public facilities is welcome

People with a disability form 2.21% of India’s population according to the 2011 Census

They have had a law for two decades to enable their full participation in society

In response to a public interest petition •led by a visually handicapped activist, Court has issued

a series of orders: that all government buildings should be made accessible by June 2019;

• Half of all government buildings in the capital cities should meet accessibility norms by Dec 2018

• Railways should present a report in three months on implementing station facilities;

• 10% of government public transport must be fully accessible by March 2018; and

• Advisory boards should be formed by the States and UnionTerritories in three months.

The court’s directions should be welcomed by the government and

Service providers as an opportunity to steer policy and practice towards a universal system

Transformation requires governments to also harness the power of newer technologies

With the help of information technology and smartphones, and provide affordable shared transport

using accessible vehicles.

ContinueGiven the emphasis on smart cities and upgraded urban facilities - highest priority

Railways should embark on an urgent programme

Cost is not the barrier to improving facilities; what is in short supply is the political will to change

the design of public facilities

Strengthen the rights of the disabled, should demonstrate the will to implement it

Game for talks Resumption of dialogue between the two Koreas reignites hopes of a détente(Easing of hostility)

South Korean President Moon Jaein’s proposal to delay the controversial joint military exercises

between SK & USA

Beijing’s suggestion for a freeze on joint military exercises betweenWashington and Seoul

in exchange for a halt to Pyongyang’s nuclear programme

U.S.backedTerminal High Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) system, raising fears that its radars

could snoop on Chinese security infrastructure.

But the idea never received serious consideration from the U.S., as forcing Kim Jongun,

The North Korean autocrat, to completely give up the programme

International sanctions and a possible reconciliation withWashington.

Immediate trigger to the revival of dialogue is the Winter Olympics in South Korea next month.

North Korea’s latest ballistic missile launches and nuclear explosions have raised global alarm over

the region’s safety for travel and tourism, not to mention security during the Games.


ContinueMemories of the downing by North Korea of a civilian aircraft ahead of the 1988 Seoul Olympics

Beijing had imposed an unofficial…blockade on South Korean trade, tourism and entertainment fol

lowing theTHAAD missile installation last year.

Mr. Moon, a former human rights lawyer, has been staunch advocate of a negotiated resolution of

the North Korean nuclear standoff•

There will no doubt be many obstacles on that ambitious path.


This too is a right Joseph Shine v. Union of India,petition challenging constitutional validity of criminal prohibition on

Adultery under Section 497 of the Indian Penal Code, has now been referred to Constitution

Bench by the SC.

Generally speaking, in a marital bond based on love and trust

Civil laws in the country provide for adultery as a ground for divorce

The right to engage in sexual intercourse is an intrinsic part of the right to privacy.

Privacy has to invariably contain the right to bodily integrity, selfdetermination and

sexual autonomy

By criminalising adultery, the state is in fact showing a paternalistic attitude by telling individuals

how to lead their lives and what behaviour to adopt

None of the European countries has criminalised adultery

In most of South America, adultery is no longer a crime.

Many States in the U.S. have either repealed adultery laws or put them to disuse


Continue Following this global trend, in 2012, a working group of the United Nations called

upon countries to do away with laws penalising adultery.

In fact, in the celebrated privacy judgment in K.S. Puttaswamy (2017)

The right to sexual privacy is increasingly recognised in jurisprudence around the world

Judgment in Suresh Kumar Koushal (2013) upholding the criminalisation of voluntary sexual

intercourse between those of the same sex remains a serious blow to the right to sexual freedom.

However, subsequently, in NALSA v. Union of India (2014), the Court said that the value

of privacy is fundamental to those of the transgender community.

It is also equally crucial that the right to sexual privacy forms a distinct and independent ground

which makes the law on adultery further vulnerable to constitutional scrutiny.
