Question:

Which International Organisation came into existence after World War II to promote international peace and cooperation?

Options:

The Permanent Court of Arbitration

League of Nations

United Nations

The International Criminal Court

Correct Answer:

United Nations

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → United Nations

The United Nations (UN) was established in 1945 after World War II to promote international peace, security, and cooperation among countries.

The Permanent Court of Arbitration: Established in 1899, it is an international tribunal that provides arbitration and conciliation services. It is not an international organization in the same sense as the United Nations.

League of Nations: Established in 1919, it was the predecessor to the United Nations. However, it was not as effective in maintaining peace and was dissolved after World War II.
 
The International Criminal Court: Established in 2002, it is an international court that prosecutes individuals accused of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression. It is a specialized court within the United Nations system but is not the main organization for promoting international peace and cooperation.
