Previous Year Question

Pair 1 is correctly matched. The Alma-Ata Declaration was adopted at the International Conference on Primary Health Care held at Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, in 1978. It recognised primary health care as the principal means of achieving health for all. It is therefore related to the healthcare of people.

Pair 2 is not correctly matched. The Hague Conventions principally deal with the laws and methods of warfare, prisoners of war and humanitarian principles applicable during armed conflicts. Biological weapons are specifically regulated by the Biological Weapons Convention, 1972, while chemical weapons are regulated by the Chemical Weapons Convention, 1993. Therefore, the given match is incorrect.

Pair 3 is correctly matched. The Talanoa Dialogue was a process associated with global climate change. It was initiated under the United Nations climate framework to assess collective efforts and encourage greater ambition in countries’ nationally determined contributions. It was launched during COP23 under the presidency of Fiji.

Pair 4 is not correctly matched. The Under2 Coalition is a climate coalition of States, provinces and other subnational governments. Its members work towards reducing greenhouse-gas emissions and achieving net-zero economies. It is not an initiative concerning child rights.
