Under Article 7 UN Charter, the PRINCIPAL ORGANS of the UN are:
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C.
1. Article 7(1) UN Charter: 'There are established as the principal organs of the United Nations: a General Assembly, a Security Council, an Economic and Social Council, a Trusteeship Council, an International Court of Justice, and a Secretariat.'
2. The Trusteeship Council suspended operation on 1 November 1994 after the last trust territory (Palau) attained independence; it is dormant but technically still a principal organ.
3. Subsidiary organs may be established as necessary (Article 7(2)) — e.g. UNHCR, UNICEF, UNDP, ICTY, ICTR.
4. Hence option B is correct.
