  • Human Rights Day
Show Solution

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The clean way to attack a date question is to recall the correct date for every option and see which one lands on 10 December.

  1. World Health Day: Observed on 7 April, the day the World Health Organization was founded in 1948. Wrong month.
  2. U. N. Day: Observed on 24 October, the date the United Nations Charter came into force in 1945 after enough member states ratified it. Wrong month.
  3. Red Cross Day: World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day falls on 8 May, the birthday of Henry Dunant, who founded the movement and shared the first Nobel Peace Prize in 1901. Wrong month again.
  4. Human Rights Day: Observed on 10 December. On this day in 1948 the UN General Assembly, meeting in Paris, adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Formal observance started in 1950. This is the answer.

Three options are eliminated on date alone, which leaves Human Rights Day. Two supporting facts are worth remembering. The Universal Declaration lists rights such as liberty, freedom from torture, free expression and the right to education, and although it is a declaration rather than a treaty, it became the foundation for the binding covenants that followed. The Nobel Peace Prize is also awarded on 10 December every year because Alfred Nobel died on that date in 1896.

Let us summarize:

  • 10 December: Human Rights Day, marking the 1948 adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
  • 7 April is World Health Day, 24 October is UN Day and 8 May is Red Cross Day.
  • The Nobel Peace Prize ceremony shares the same date, 10 December.

The correct answer is option (D), Human Rights Day.
