Q. Consider the following statements:

1. The Charter of the United Nations Organization was adopted at Geneva, Switzerland in June, 1945.
2. India was admitted to the United Nations Organization in the year 1945.
3. The Trusteeship Council of the United Nations Organization was established to manage the affairs of territories detached from Japan and Italy after the Second World War or such territories not under the control of a country at that time.

Which of the above statements is / are correct? (UPSC Prelims 2005)
Answer: 2 and 3
Notes: The Charter of the United Nations Organization was adopted in San Francisco, USA in June 1945, not Geneva, making statement 1 incorrect. India was admitted to the UN in 1945, so statement 2 is correct. The Trusteeship Council was established to administer trust territories, many of which were not just from Japan and Italy, so statement 3 is partially correct.
