Consider the following statements : 1. WTO was set up as the successor to GATT. 2. IAEA teams inspect nuclear facilities all over the world. 3. Amnesty International is an NGO. How many of the statements given above are correct?
Explanation
All three statements are correct. Statement 1 is accurate as the World Trade Organization (WTO) was established on January 1, 1995, as the successor to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) following the Uruguay Round negotiations [3]. Statement 2 is correct because the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is the world's nuclear watchdog, tasked with inspecting nuclear facilities globally under safeguards agreements to ensure they are used for peaceful purposes and to limit the spread of nuclear weapons [5]. Statement 3 is correct as Amnesty International is a prominent international non-governmental organization (NGO) that functions as a worldwide movement campaigning for internationally recognized human rights [4]. Since all three statements are factually sound, the correct option is 4.
