1Alma-Ata Declaration : Healthcare of the people
2Hague Convention : Biological and chemical weapons
3Talanoa Dialogue : Global climate change
4Under2 Coalition : Child rights

Which of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched?

Options

a

1 and 2 only

b

4 only

c

1 and 3 only

Answer
d

2, 3 and 4 only

Explanation

The 1978 Alma-Ata Declaration was a major milestone in global public health (Primary Healthcare). The Hague Conventions primarily deal with the conduct of armed conflict and private international law (e.g., child abduction), not exclusively biological/chemical weapons. Talanoa Dialogue was introduced at COP23 under the UNFCCC for climate change. The Under2 Coalition is a global community of state and regional governments committed to ambitious climate action, not child rights. > One-line conceptual takeaway: Distinguishing the core subject areas of major international treaties helps easily eliminate incorrect options in matching questions. Answer: (c).
