The correct answer is Option 4- D (The Millennium Development Goals were agreed to be abandoned.)
GIVEN STATEMENTS:
A) A Peacebuilding Commission was proposed to help maintain international peace. B) The Trusteeship Council was decided to be wound up. C) The Human Rights Council to be established to address human rights violations. D) The Millennium Development Goals were agreed to be abandoned.
The incorrect statement is that the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were abandoned. There was an agreement to achieve the MDGs as one of the UN’s goals.
The question of membership is a serious one. In addition, though, there are more substantial issues before the world. As the UN completed 60 years of its existence, the heads of all the member-states met in September 2005 to celebrate the anniversary and review the situation. The leaders in this meeting decided that the following steps should be taken to make the UN more relevant in the changing context.
- Creation of a Peacebuilding Commission.
- Acceptance of the responsibility of the international community in case of failures of national governments to protect their own citizens from atrocities.
- Establishment of a Human Rights Council (operational since 19 June 2006).
- Agreements to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
- Condemnation of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.
- Creation of a Democracy Fund.
- An agreement to wind up the Trusteeship Council.
