Question

Name four general directives.

Answer 1

General directives are non-justiciable guidelines that direct the state to promote public welfare. Four general directives are:

1. To protect and improve the environment, forests, and wildlife; safeguard nature; and conserve resources.
2. To promote international peace and security, pursue peaceful foreign relations.
3. To secure a uniform civil code for the whole country, aim for common personal laws for all citizens.
4. Providing free legal advice to ensure justice for economically weaker sections of society helps the poor access legal help. These guide lawmaking but are not enforceable by courts in practice today.
