The question pertains to the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) in the Constitution of India. These are guidelines or principles given to the federal institutes governing the country, to be kept in consideration while framing laws and policies. Let's evaluate each statement:

  1. Uniform Civil Code for all persons living in India: Article 44 of the Constitution of India directs the State to strive for a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) for all its citizens. This is indeed a part of the DPSP, which aims at ensuring uniformity in personal laws irrespective of religion.
  2. Provision for early childhood care and education to children up to the age of 14 years: Article 45 of the Constitution mandates that the State shall provide early childhood care and education for all children until they complete the age of six years. Additionally, Article 21A, part of the Fundamental Rights, mandates free and compulsory education for children between the ages of six and fourteen years. Together, these initiatives form part of the DPSP.
  3. Promotion of international peace and security: Article 51 of the Constitution lists several directives aimed at fostering global peace and security. These directives ask the State to promote international peace, maintain just and honorable relations between nations, and encourage settlement of international disputes by arbitration.

Given the information above, all three statements mentioned in the question fall under the Directive Principles of State Policy. Therefore, the correct answer is:

1, 2 and 3

Conclusion: The correct answer is 1, 2 and 3 since each statement refers to a provision covered under the Directive Principles of State Policy in the Indian Constitution.
