Which one of the following provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states, "Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person"?

Explanation

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948. It consists of 30 articles outlining fundamental human rights to be universally protected.

  • Article 3 states: "Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person." This is a foundational right protecting the physical integrity of individuals.
  • Article 1 declares that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.
  • Article 2 establishes that everyone is entitled to these rights without distinction of any kind, such as race, color, sex, or religion.
  • Article 4 mandates that no one shall be held in slavery or servitude.

The UDHR is not a legally binding treaty but has become the basis for international human rights law and many national constitutions.
