Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: A
Explanation

Statement 1 is correct as per Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), which states that everyone has the right to seek and enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution. However, this right may not be invoked in the case of prosecutions genuinely arising from non-political crimes or from acts contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations . Statement 2 is incorrect because Article 15 of the UDHR provides that everyone has the right to a nationality and that no one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality. The phrasing in the question suggests an exception for the freedom to change nationality, whereas the UDHR explicitly protects the right to change it. The UDHR serves as a foundational document for the protection of inherent dignity and inalienable rights globally .
