Question

prepare a comparative chart of our fundamental rights as guaranteed in the indian constitution and articles of universal declaration of human right
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Today human rights are central to the discourse of International Public Policy and Scholarship. And the mechanisms have evolved dramatically since the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) on 10 December 1948. Human Rights do not exist in a vacuum, inevitably, they are formulated by individuals and state and they are implemented by states themselves. However, a number of national, regional and international bodies exercise responsibility for overseeing the monitoring of human rights and ensuring that states comply with obligation.

The Constitution of India was drafted by the Constituent Assembly on 9th December, 1946 and after long discussions and debates by the foremost legal luminaries and thinkers of our country the draft Constitution was finally adopted on 26th November, 1949. 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 UDHR contains Civil and Political as well as Economic Social and Cultural rights. While Civil and Political rights has been incorporated in Part III of Indian Constitution i.e. Fundamental Rights, as Economic Social and Cultural rights have been incorporated in Part IV of the Constitution i.e. Directive Principles of States Policy. The inclusion of important provisions of UDHR in the Constitution of India has given them supremacy over all other statutory provisions.

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.
