Consider the following pairs:
| 1. | Ahna-Ata Declaration | Healthcare of the people |
| 2. | Hague Convention | Biological and chemical weapons |
| 3. | Talanoa Dialogue | Global climate change |
| 4. | Under 2 Coalition | Child rights |
Which of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched?
The correct option is (c) because pairs 1 and 3 are accurately matched.
Pair 1: Alma-Ata Declaration - Healthcare of the people. The Alma-Ata Declaration, adopted in 1978 by the International Conference on Primary Health Care, is a landmark document in global health. It emphasized primary healthcare as key to achieving "Health for All" and focused on equitable access to basic health services for all people.
Pair 3: Talanoa Dialogue - Global climate change. The Talanoa Dialogue was a facilitative process launched at the 23rd Conference of the Parties (COP23) to the UNFCCC in 2017. Its purpose was to assess collective progress towards the long-term goals of the Paris Agreement and to inform the preparation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), thereby addressing global climate change.
The other pairs are incorrectly matched:
Pair 2: Hague Convention - Biological and chemical weapons. The Hague Conventions are a series of international treaties and declarations. While some address laws of war, the general term "Hague Convention" often refers to conventions developed by the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH), which cover areas like international child abduction, intercountry adoption, and civil procedure. Biological and chemical weapons are primarily addressed by separate international agreements such as the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) and the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), not the general Hague Conventions.
Pair 4: Under 2 Coalition - Child rights. The Under2 Coalition is a global pact of subnational governments (states, provinces, regions) committed to achieving ambitious greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. Its primary focus is on climate action and driving the global transition to a net-zero economy, not child rights.
Based on the above:
Option (a) is incorrect because Pair 2 is mismatched.
Option (b) is incorrect because Pair 4 is mismatched.
Option (d) is incorrect because both Pair 2 and Pair 4 are mismatched.
