Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. PROMOTING international cooperation in the political, economic, social, cultural, educational, health fields; encouraging progressive development of international law and its codification; assisting in realization of human rights and fundamental freedoms
1. Article 13(1) UN Charter: 'The General Assembly shall initiate studies and make recommendations for the purpose of: (a) promoting international cooperation in the political field and encouraging the progressive development of international law and its codification; (b) promoting international cooperation in the economic, social, cultural, educational, and health fields, and assisting in the realization of human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion.' 2. Article 13 is the legal basis for the establishment of the International Law Commission (ILC) (GA Res 174(II), 1947) which has produced ARSIWA, VCLT, and many other instruments. 3. The GA also recommends codification efforts (e.g. ILC drafts, treaties). 4. Hence option B is correct. _Source: UN Charter 1945 / Vienna Convention on Law of Treaties 1969 / Geneva Conventions 1949 / ICJ Statute / UDHR ICCPR ICESCR — UN Charter 1945, Article 13_
