Question

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

(I) One of the objectives of NAM is to oppose the use of force and the use of nuclear weapons.

(II) NAM did not make any substantial efforts to prevent war between Russia and Ukraine or Israel and Palestine.

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

(II) contradicts (I).

Explanation:

Statement (II) directly contradicts Statement (I). One of the foundational, constitutional objectives of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) is to actively oppose the use of military force and nuclear weapons to maintain global peace. However, in reality, NAM failed to make any substantial diplomatic efforts or take a decisive stand to prevent or halt major modern conflicts like the Russia-Ukraine war or the Israel-Palestine conflict, which directly goes against its core peacekeeping objective.
