Question and options

Arrange the following rights in the order they appear in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
1. Right to peaceful assembly
2. Right against torture
3. Right against slavery
4. Right to life
  1. 3, 4, 1, 2
  2. 4, 1, 2, 3
  3. 4, 2, 3, 1
  4. 1, 2, 3, 4

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C - 4, 2, 3, 1
In the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the right to life is Article 6, freedom from torture Article 7, freedom from slavery Article 8, and the right of peaceful assembly Article 21. So the order is 4, 2, 3, 1. Peaceful assembly comes much later, among the political freedoms, so it cannot open the list.
