The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 10th December, 1948, in Paris (Statement A is correct). Many provisions of the Fundamental Rights in Part III of the Indian Constitution are indeed similar to rights enshrined in the UDHR, reflecting shared principles (Statement B is correct). India was a signatory to the UN resolution that adopted the UDHR (Statement D is correct). Article 17 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights explicitly states: “(1) Everyone has the right to own property alone as well as in association with others. (2) No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property.” Therefore, the Right to Property *is* a part of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The statement that the Right to Property is *not* a part of the UDHR is incorrect.

– The UDHR was adopted by the UN General Assembly on Dec 10, 1948.
– Many Indian Fundamental Rights align with UDHR provisions.
– India is a signatory to the UDHR.
– The Right to Property is included in the UDHR (Article 17).

While the Right to Property is included in the UDHR, its status in national legal systems varies. In India, the right to property was a Fundamental Right until the 44th Amendment Act, 1978, which removed it from Part III and made it a legal right under Article 300A in Part XII of the Constitution.
