Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. General Assembly; Security Council; Economic and Social Council; Trusteeship Council; International Court of Justice; Secretariat (six principal organs)
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. _Source: UN Charter 1945 / Vienna Convention on Law of Treaties 1969 / ICJ Statute / ARSIWA 2001 — UN Charter 1945, Article 7_
