Question

Read the passage from Eleanor Roosevelt’s speech on the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Certain provisions of the Declaration are stated in such broad terms as to be acceptable only because of the provisions in article 30 providing for limitation on the exercise of the rights for the purpose of meeting the requirements of morality, public order, and the general welfare. An example of this is the provision that everyone has the right to equal access to the public service in his country. The basic principle of equality and of nondiscrimination as to public employment is sound, but it cannot be accepted without limitation. My government, for example, would consider that this is unquestionably subject to limitation in the interest of public order and the general welfare. It would not consider that the exclusion from public employment of persons holding subversive political beliefs and not loyal to the basic principles and practices of the constitution and laws of the country would in any way infringe upon this right.

Based on this passage, which statement best summarizes Roosevelt's reasons for limitations on rights within the UDHR?

Unless the UDHR imposes limitations, dangerous people will have access to privileges they do not deserve.
Unless the UDHR imposes limitations, the right to equal access will be impossible to apportion equally.
Some governments will reject the UDHR if it imposes any exclusions from public employment or other public service.
Some governments will reject the UDHR unless it states that everyone must have equal access to public service.

Answer 2

Based on the passage given in the question, the statement which best summarises Roosevelt’s reasons for limitations on rights within the UDHR is that unless the UDHR imposes limitations, dangerous people will have access to privileges. The dangerous people will further make the illicit use of the privileges. The rights will be taken for granted by them and the common people will face the consequences on the basis of the varied facts.
