Matching Human Rights Instruments with Adoption Years

This section provides a detailed explanation for matching the Human Rights Instruments listed in List - I with their respective adoption years from List - II.

Understanding the Lists

We need to correctly pair each significant Human Rights Instrument with the year it was adopted.

List I: Human Rights Instruments

  • A. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights
  • B. Convention concerning forced labour
  • C. The Convention on the Rights of the child
  • D. The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights

List II: Adoption Years

  • I. 1930
  • II. 1948
  • III. 1966
  • IV. 1989

Correct Matchings and Explanation

Let's analyze each instrument:

  • A. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR): This landmark document, outlining fundamental human rights to be universally protected, was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948. Therefore, A matches with II (1948).
  • B. Convention concerning forced labour: This typically refers to the International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention No. 29, which addresses forced or compulsory labour. It was adopted in 1930. Thus, B matches with I (1930).
  • C. The Convention on the Rights of the child (CRC): This crucial treaty, establishing the civil, political, economic, social, health, and cultural rights of children, was adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1989. Hence, C matches with IV (1989).
  • D. The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR): This treaty, along with the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, forms the International Bill of Human Rights. It was adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1966. Therefore, D matches with III (1966).

The correct pairings are A-II, B-I, C-IV, and D-III.
