Question

Define human right. Howhas the universal declaration of Human Rights influenced the making of Indian constitution

Answer 1

Answer:

The Universal Declaration of Human Rightsis binding upon India, since it is a signatory to the said declaration. The very basis of thisdeclaration is that the interest of one part of the world is bound up with the interests ofhuman beings as a whole in every other part of the world

Answer 2

Answer:

Human rights are built upon the belief that every human being must have some basic rights to lead a

dignified life and live up to his/her potential to best possible extent. The United Nations General Assembly (on

10 December 1948 at Palais de Chaillot, Paris) adopted a declaration, the universal Declaration of Human rights

(UDHR)

1) This declaration arose directly from the experience of the Second World War and represents the first global

expression of rights to which all human beings are inherently entitled to.

2) It consists of 30 articles which have been elaborated in subsequent international treaties, regional human

rights instruments, national constitutions and laws.

The Indian Constitution is also influenced by the Universal Declaration of Human rights (UDHR) adopted by

the United Nations. The Fundamental Rights draw directly from the UDHR. These rights can be enjoyed by

every citizen of India.
