Question

which of the following is a limitation of the universal declaration of human rights?
○ it holds those who commit atrocities accountable for their actions.
○ it represents a moral code only and cannot be enforced by law.
○ it promises political and civil rights but not social and economic ones.
○ it does not promote equality based on race, nationality, or gender.

Explanation:

1. Analyze Option 1: Holding perpetrators accountable is a strength, not a limitation.
2. Analyze Option 2: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a moral/ethical document, not legally binding (enforceable by law). This is a key limitation.
3. Analyze Option 3: The UDHR includes social and economic rights (e.g., right to work, education, standard of living), so this is incorrect.
4. Analyze Option 4: The UDHR explicitly promotes equality regardless of race, nationality, gender, etc., so this is incorrect.

Answer:

B. It represents a moral code only and cannot be enforced by law.
