how has the Declaration of Human Rights influenced the making of Indian Constitution ?
Answers
Answer:
The framers of the Indian Constitution were influenced by the concept of human rights and guaranteed most of human rights contained in the UDHR. The inclusion of important provisions of UDHR in the Constitution of India has given them supremacy over all other statutory provisions.
Explanation:
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.
