Full Answer
A.UN Charter✓ Correct
The correct answer is A. The UN Charter is the founding document of the United Nations. It outlines the organisation's goals, principles, and structure, including its primary aims of maintaining international peace and security, promoting human rights, and fostering social and economic development.
The Charter of the United Nations was signed on 26 June 1945, in San Francisco, at the conclusion of the United Nations Conference on International Organization, and came into force on 24 October 1945. It is the key document that outlines the UN's goals, such as preventing war, upholding human rights, and promoting international cooperation.
Common mistakes
Students may confuse 'Charter' with 'Convention' or 'Constitution'. While similar in concept, 'Charter' is the specific, correct term for the UN's founding document.
