Which of the following was not the goal of the World Conference on Human Rights held at Vienna in 1993 ?

Correct option is D

The World Conference on Human Rights, held in Vienna in 1993, was a landmark event aimed at strengthening and promoting human rights globally. Let's analyze each option to determine which one was not a goal of the conference:

1. Confirmation of universality of Human Rights:

   • One of the key outcomes of the Vienna Conference was the reaffirmation of the universality of human rights. The conference emphasized that human rights are universal, indivisible, and applicable to all people, regardless of cultural or political differences.

   • This was a goal of the conference.

2. Establishment of equal validity for social and economic rights along with civil and political rights and the right to development:

   • The Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action emphasized the indivisibility and interdependence of all human rights, including civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights, as well as the right to development.

   • This was a goal of the conference.

3. Expansion of the sphere of accountability of the sovereign state:

   • The conference aimed to strengthen the accountability of states in upholding human rights. It called for greater responsibility of sovereign states in protecting and promoting human rights, including through international cooperation and mechanisms.

   • This was a goal of the conference.

4. Widely hoped co-ordination of efforts of the individual and nongovernmental organizations under the spearheading leadership of the UNO:

   • While the Vienna Conference recognized the important role of NGOs and individuals in promoting human rights, it did not specifically aim to establish a coordination mechanism under the leadership of the UNO. The focus was more on strengthening international human rights frameworks and state accountability.

   • This was not a goal of the conference. hence it will be the correct answer.
