Correct Answer: 1, 2 and 3. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948. A number of fundamental rights guaranteed to the individuals in Part III of the Indian Constitution are similar to the provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The following chart makes it very clear: Apart from Fundamental Rights, elements of Indian constitution’s Preamble, such as equality, liberty, etc., are similar to those enshrined in the UDHR. Elements of DPSP such equal pay for equal work, just & humane working environment, economic, and social rights are also found in UDHR. Few sections of Article 51A do have place in UDHR, for e.g., Article 26(3) of UDHR states: “Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children.” Article 29 (1) of UDHR states: “Everyone has duties to the community in which alone the free and full development of his personality is possible.” Hence, the correct option is D. .
