UDHR Preamble Expressions Identified

This solution details the expressions present in the opening line of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) Preamble, helping to identify the correct set of phrases.

UDHR Preamble Phrases Under Review

The initial part of the UDHR Preamble states:

"Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity (A) and of the equal and inalienable right (C) of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace (B) in the world,"

Let's examine each listed expression:

  • A. Inherent dignity: This phrase is explicitly stated in the opening line.
  • B. Justice & Peace: These terms are mentioned as the foundation established by recognizing rights and dignity.
  • C. Equal and inalienable right: This phrase is directly quoted in the opening statement.
  • D. Observance of human rights: While central to the declaration's purpose, this specific wording does not appear in the opening clause identifying the foundation.
  • E. Human rights and freedoms: This describes the overall subject matter but is not the exact phrasing used in the specific opening sentence establishing the foundation.

Final Selection of Expressions

The expressions A (Inherent dignity), B (Justice & Peace), and C (Equal and inalienable right) are directly found in the opening line of the UDHR Preamble.

Therefore, the correct choice must include only these three expressions.
