Consider the following : 1. Right to education 2. Right to equal access to public service. 3. Right to food. Which of the above is/are Human Right/ Human Rights under “ Universal Declaration of Human Rights”?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: D
Explanation

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), adopted in 1948, encompasses a broad range of civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights. Statement 1 is correct as Article 26 explicitly states that everyone has the right to education, which should be free at least in the elementary stages [4]. Statement 2 is correct under Article 21(2), which provides that everyone has the right of equal access to public service in their country . Statement 3 is also correct; while not a standalone article titled 'Right to Food', Article 25(1) specifies that everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for health and well-being, including food, clothing, housing, and medical care [2]. Since all three rights are explicitly mentioned or included within the articles of the UDHR, option 4 is the correct choice.
