International Affairs Questions and Answers

Answer: A

The answer is Port Royal Naval Hospital.

On 13 February 2025 UNESCO's World Heritage Centre announced a project to protect the Historic Naval Hospital of Port Royal in Jamaica. The hospital stands behind a 19th-century sea wall and is threatened by coastal erosion, storm surges and ship traffic; the project, funded by the Netherlands Funds-in-Trust, is to reinforce the sea wall and make the site more resilient.

Port Royal's archaeological landscape was also inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2025. Rose Hall Great House and Devon House are historic buildings that were not the subject of this project, and the Blue and John Crow Mountains are a mixed natural and cultural site in the interior, not a coastal one.

Answer: C

The appeal was for $ 500 Million.

In January 2025 the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, launched his Office's annual appeal, seeking about US$ 500 million to fund its human rights work worldwide in 2025.

The other amounts do not match the appeal.

The Office of the High Commissioner (OHCHR) depends heavily on voluntary contributions, since the UN regular budget covers only part of its work.

Answer: B

2025 is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology.

The UN General Assembly proclaimed 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, marking a hundred years since the development of quantum mechanics (Heisenberg's work of 1925).

No such UN year has been declared for artificial intelligence, biotechnology or renewable energy in 2025.

The proclamation, adopted in June 2024, aims to raise awareness of quantum science and its applications in computing, communication and sensing.
