Question

Select the option that shows the correct relationship between Statements (I) and (II).

(I): Disarm, decolonise and develop are the three objectives of the UN.

(II): The Security Council’s primary responsibility is the maintenance of international peace and security.

पर्याय

• (II) contradicts (I).

• (II) is the reason for (I).

• (I) is true, but (II) is false.

• (I) and (II) are independent of each other.

Answer 1

(I) and (II) are independent of each other.

Explanation:

Both statements are completely correct historical facts, but they address entirely separate and independent facets of the United Nations. Statement (I) accurately lists the three primary global objectives of the UN overall (Disarm, Decolonise, and Develop). On the other hand, Statement (II) specifies the unique functional role of just one of its individual organs, explicitly defining the Security Council’s primary mandate to preserve international peace and security. Because neither statement acts as a cause, effect, or contradiction of the other, they remain independent.
