Question 3:     (a) What is the meaning of Universal Declaration of Human Rights  
      (UDHR)?
(b) Highlight any six rights or freedoms in the Universal Declaration of
      Human Rights of 1948.

This question was quite unpopular. The very few candidates who attempted it performed poorly in the (a) part as they merely mentioned its connection with human rights but failed to fully explain the term. In the (b) part, the candidates were able to correctly mention some core rights/freedoms but failed to explain these core rights and so could not earn the full marks. The candidates were expected to provide the following answers to the question:
