Other than the Fundamental Rights, which of the following parts of the Constitution of India reflect/reflects the principles and provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) ? 1. Preamble 2. Directive Principles of State Policy 3. Fundamental Duties Select the correct answer using the code given below :

A
1 and 2 only
B
2 only
C
1 and 3 only
D
1, 2 and 3
Correct Answer

Explanation

The correct answer is (D) because the UDHR encompasses civil, social, and economic principles reflected in the Preamble’s vision, the DPSPs' welfare goals, and Article 29 of the UDHR, which specifically emphasizes individual duties to the community. Option (a) is the most tempting error as candidates often associate human rights exclusively with "rights," overlooking that the UDHR explicitly includes responsibilities mirrored in our Fundamental Duties. The core concept tested is the comprehensive philosophical alignment between the Indian Constitution and the international human rights framework.
