As there is a staggering growth in technology, usage of advance techniques like Machine Learning and Deep Learning Models can help to get sentiments of these users for better insights and classification. Hence, the objective of the given study was to detect the post/tweets which are about Human Rights Violation over Social Media which can help peacekeeping organization to monitor real-time situation where human rights are being violated. The study was achieved by implementing different experiments of Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Deep Learning Models on a Dataset fetched from Twitter using Twitter API and were adjudged based on metrics namely accuracy, sensitivity and specificity.For Machine Learning Models accuracy of 98% was achieved whereas on Deep Learning Model decent accuracy of 75% was obtained.Based on the results, given study was able to classify tweets about Human Rights violation and can be used extended further for future use by different organizations.
