    Explanation:
    • Constitution provides fundamental right against the forced self-incrimination by the accused under article 20(3) which states that no person accused of any offence shall be compelled to be a witness against himself.
    • India signed the United Nations Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment or Punishment in 1997 but has not ratified it so far. Hence only statement 1st is correct.
