Explanation
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948, at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris. It is officially designated as General Assembly Resolution 217 A (III).
- Option A is correct: The UDHR is a resolution of the General Assembly. While it carries significant moral and political weight, it is not a legally binding document in itself.
- Option B is incorrect: A treaty (or covenant) is legally binding upon the states that ratify it. The UDHR served as the foundation for subsequent binding treaties like the ICCPR and ICESCR.
- Option C is incorrect: It was not an action of the Security Council, which primarily deals with international peace and security.
- Option D is incorrect: It was drafted by the Commission on Human Rights, chaired by Eleanor Roosevelt, not the International Law Commission.
