Weaknesses of UDHR

Weakness of UDHR:
1.      Separating the socio-legal question from the philosophical one.
2.      Lacking a logical sequence between the preamble and the legal Articles.
3.      Failing to differentiate between the original human dignity and the dignity acquired through piety and good deeds.
4.      Failing to cover all related aspect of vital human rights such as man’s life, sanctity of the dead, and the question of the annihilation of the foundation of human race.
5.      Ignoring the question of morality in settling disputes.
6.      Not including the rights of the parents and relatives.
7.      Not referring to the question of condemning imperialism in all forms.
8.      Not mentioning the individual’s right to be provided with a moral environment.

9.      Granting absolute freedom of expression which could be destructive.
