Question 26 • US History Studies Since 1877

Which of these is a limitation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights?

Answer
A
It does not promote equality based on race, nationality, or gender.
B
It represents a moral code only and cannot be enforced by law.
C
It holds those who commit atrocities accountable for their actions.
D
It promises political and civil rights but not social and economic ones.

Explanation

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights sets out a broad standard of rights, including civil, political, social, and economic rights, and affirms equality without discrimination. Its main limitation is that it is a declaration rather than a legally binding treaty, so it cannot itself be enforced in court. Therefore, “It represents a moral code only and cannot be enforced by law” is the best answer.
