The correct answer is

right to keep and bear arms

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948. It is a milestone document that proclaims the inalienable rights which everyone is entitled to as a human being.

Let's analyze each option to determine which right the UDHR does not include:

  1. Right against arbitrary arrest: This is included in Article 9 of the UDHR, which states, "No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile."
  2. Right against slavery: Article 4 of the UDHR addresses this right, declaring, "No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms."
  3. Right to keep and bear arms: The UDHR does not include this right. This concept, often associated with the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution, is not a part of the UDHR's principles.
  4. Right to rest and leisure: This is covered under Article 24 of the UDHR, which asserts, "Everyone has the right to rest and leisure, including reasonable limitation of working hours and periodic holidays with pay."

Based on the analysis of all options, the UDHR does not include the "right to keep and bear arms." Therefore, the correct answer is:

Right to keep and bear arms
