A is false but R is true. International law is a true law and it is to be regarded as law in the same way as that of ordinary laws of a State which are binding upon the individuals.

The Right to Vote as a Statutory Right
The right to vote in elections is primarily categorized as a statutory right, meaning that it is established and regulated by law. Here’s a detailed explanation:
Definition of Statutory Rights
- Statutory rights are those rights that are granted by legislation or statutes enacted by a governing body.
- These rights can be modified, expanded, or restricted by legislative action.
Importance of Statutory Rights in Voting
- Voting rights are defined and protected by various laws, including national constitutions, electoral laws, and specific statutes aimed at ensuring fair elections.
- Examples of statutory laws include:
- The Voting Rights Act in the United States, which prohibits racial discrimination in voting.
- Local laws that determine eligibility requirements, such as age, residency, and registration processes.
Comparison with Other Rights
- Constitutional Rights: While the right to vote is enshrined in many constitutions, the specific regulations and procedures are often governed by statutory laws.
- Natural Rights: These are rights believed to be inherent and universal, such as the right to life and liberty. However, the right to vote is not universally accepted in all jurisdictions.
- Moral Rights: These pertain to ethical considerations and societal norms, which can influence but do not establish legal voting rights.
Conclusion
In summary, the right to vote is a statutory right because it is established by laws created by governing bodies. While it may be supported by constitutional principles and moral arguments, its specific implementation and regulation are legally defined.

The date was chosen to honour the United Nations General Assembly's adoption and proclamation, on 10 December 1948, of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the first global enunciation of human rights and one of the first major achievements of the new United Nations. Hence, Option A is correct. For the rest of the events, the dates are 24 October 1945, September 1961, 6–8 December 1985 respectively. Hence, these options are incorrect.
