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…

Correct Option

All three rights listed are recognized as human rights under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), adopted by the United Nations in 1948.

• Right to education: Article 26(1) of the UDHR explicitly states, "Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages."
• Right to equal access to public service: Article 21(2) of the UDHR affirms, "Everyone has the right of equal access to public service in their country."
• Right to food: Article 25(1) of the UDHR declares, "Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food..." This provision forms the foundational basis for the international recognition of the right to food.

Incorrect Options

• Option (a) 1 only: This option is incorrect because, in addition to the Right to Education, the UDHR also recognizes the Right to Equal Access to Public Service (Article 21(2)) and the Right to Food (Article 25(1)).
• Option (b) 1 and 2: This option is incorrect as it omits the Right to Food, which is explicitly included in Article 25(1) of the UDHR as part of the right to an adequate standard of living.
• Option (c) 3 only: This option is incorrect because the UDHR recognizes not only the Right to Food but also the Right to Education (Article 26(1)) and the Right to Equal Access to Public Service (Article 21(2)).
