Q41 (CAPF/2026) Polity & Governance › Governance, Policies & Social Justice

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the United Nations General Assembly Resolution of 1948 does not include

Result
Your answer:  ·  Correct: D

Explanation

This question, which appeared in the UPSC CAPF AC 2024 exam, is technically flawed because all four options are explicitly included in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) adopted in 1948:

  • Right against arbitrary arrest: Included under Article 9 ("No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile").
  • Right against slavery: Included under Article 4 ("No one shall be held in slavery or servitude").
  • Right against inhuman or degrading treatment: Included under Article 5 ("No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment").
  • Right to rest and leisure: Included under Article 24 ("Everyone has the right to rest and leisure, including reasonable limitation of working hours and periodic holidays with pay").

The question likely intended to distinguish between Civil/Political rights and Economic/Social rights. Options A, B, and C are Civil/Political rights (also found in the ICCPR), while Option D is an Economic/Social right (found in the ICESCR). In the context of this flaw, (D) is the most probable intended answer.
