In the Constitution of India, promotion of international peace and security is included in the
A
Preamble to the Constitution
B
Directive Principles of State Policy
C
Fundamental Duties
D
Ninth Schedule
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
1. The question asks where the promotion of international peace and security is mentioned in the Constitution of India.
2. Article 51, which is part of Part IV of the Constitution dealing with the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP), explicitly states that "The State shall endeavour to promote international peace and security".
3. The Preamble outlines the basic philosophy and objectives of the Constitution but doesn't specifically detail this aspect.
4. The Fundamental Duties (Article 51A, Part IVA) list duties for citizens, not directives for the State regarding foreign policy.
5. The Ninth Schedule contains a list of central and state laws that are shielded from judicial review.
Therefore, the promotion of international peace and security is explicitly included in the Directive Principles of State Policy.
