Both the ICCPR and ICESCR begin with identical provisions on the

  • A.Right to Life
  • B.Right to Liberty and Security
  • C.Right to Self-determination
  • D.Right to Fair Trial

Answer: C

Both the ICCPR and the ICESCR begin with the same Article 1, the right to self-determination: all peoples may freely determine their political status and pursue their economic, social and cultural development.

The right to life, the right to liberty and security and the right to a fair trial appear only in the ICCPR and later in the text, so only self-determination is common to the opening of both covenants. Common Article 1 is the only provision which both the covenants state in the same words.
