Q: The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation Charter, it was signed. Choose the correct date, year and city ................

The SAARC Charter was signed at Dhaka on 8th December 1985.The heads of state or government of Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka adopted the Charter at the first SAARC summit in Dhaka on 8 December 1985, and 8 December is observed as SAARC Charter Day. Afghanistan joined in 2007 as the eighth member.The secretariat is in Kathmandu, set up in 1987, which may explain that distractor. The second summit was held in Bangalore in November 1986, not New Delhi, and Kabul in 1979 predates the association altogether.

Q: Which International Convention applies to territorial waters and Maritime zones of a country ?

The convention is U.N.C.L.O.S.The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (1982) defines a country's maritime zones: territorial sea up to 12 nautical miles, contiguous zone up to 24, exclusive economic zone up to 200, and the continental shelf. It also sets rules for navigation, the high seas and the settlement of disputes. India ratified it in 1995.The Kyoto Protocol deals with greenhouse gas emissions, MARPOL with pollution from ships, and SLOC means sea lines of communication, a strategic term, not a convention.

Q: Which one of the following organs of the UNO has ceased to exist ?

The organ that has ceased to function is the Trusteeship Council.The Trusteeship Council was one of the six principal organs of the UN, set up to supervise trust territories and prepare them for self-government or independence. When Palau, the last trust territory, became independent in 1994, the Council suspended its operations; it remains in the Charter but no longer meets regularly.The Security Council and the Economic and Social Council are active principal organs. The Commission on Human Rights was replaced by the Human Rights Council in 2006, but it was a subsidiary body of ECOSOC, not a principal organ of the UN.

Q: Assertion (A) : Terrorism makes a country's politics difficult and complicated to handle.Reason (R) : International terrorism is a dangerous and harmful to the human life.Codes :

The keyed answer is Both (A) and (R) is correct, without R explaining A.The assertion is true: terrorism complicates a country's politics, forcing hard choices between security and civil liberties, straining relations between communities and between the centre and states, and sometimes with neighbouring countries. The reason is also true: international terrorism is dangerous and harmful to human life.But R does not explain A. The harm terrorism does to life is a separate fact from the political difficulty it creates; R would need to say why terrorism makes politics hard to handle. So the option making R the correct explanation of A is wrong, and the options calling either statement incorrect are wrong too.

Q: Who among the following argued that "Terrorism is not like a disaster before which we are helpless ?

The keyed answer is George P. Shultz. I could not trace this exact sentence to a speech, so the attribution rests on the key and on his well-known position.As US Secretary of State (1982 to 1989), Shultz argued in his October 1984 speech 'Terrorism and the Modern World' that terrorism is a form of aggression that must be forcefully resisted, and that a democracy should not become 'the Hamlet of nations' paralysed by doubt. The claim that terrorism is not a natural calamity to be endured, but something a state can act against, matches that line of argument.Searches for the sentence itself found no source for it. The other three options are presidents, not a Secretary of State who made countering terrorism a theme of his tenure: Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush each spoke on terrorism, but none is the usual source of this remark.

Q: Which one of the following is not related to trade ?

The one not related to trade is the NPT.The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (1968) is an arms control treaty that aims to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, promote disarmament and allow peaceful nuclear energy.The others are trade arrangements. SAPTA is the SAARC Preferential Trading Arrangement (1993). TRIPS is the WTO Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights. The WTO, the World Trade Organization, set up in 1995, governs international trade rules.

Q: "One for all, all for one" is a concept related to :

The concept is Collective Security.Under collective security, every member of a system treats aggression against any one member as aggression against all, and all join in resisting it, 'one for all, all for one'. The League of Nations Covenant and Chapter VII of the UN Charter are built on this idea.A military alliance is directed against a particular outside threat rather than any aggressor within the system. Deterrence prevents attack by threat of retaliation, and detente means the easing of tension between rivals, as between the US and USSR in the 1970s.

Q: Which of the following statements explains the concept of collective security ?

Collective security is the principle of one for all and all for one.In a collective security system, every member undertakes to treat an attack on any member as an attack on all and to act together against the aggressor, whoever it is. The commitment of each to all, and of all to each, is what 'one for all and all for one' expresses.'All against all' describes the Hobbesian state of nature, and 'few against all' or 'no one against all' describe no recognised principle of international security.

Q: Samuel Huntington's Clash of Civilizations" argued that the principal patterns of conflict and co-operation in the world were shaped by :

Huntington argued that the patterns were shaped by culture.In 'The Clash of Civilizations?' (1993) and the book that followed (1996), Samuel Huntington argued that after the Cold War the main source of conflict and co-operation would be neither ideology nor economics but culture: people would identify with broad civilisations, such as Western, Islamic, Sinic, Hindu and Orthodox, defined by religion, language and history. The fault lines between civilisations would be the battle lines of the future.He explicitly downplayed nation states, political leadership and nationalism as the primary drivers, so those options miss his thesis.
