Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

Statement 1 is correct as the United Nations was established in 1945 following a series of wartime conferences (Tehran, Yalta, and San Francisco) to prevent future conflicts after the Second World War [4]. Statement 2 is correct because the UN Charter's preamble and Article 1 explicitly define its vital objectives as maintaining international peace and security, while also promoting social progress, human rights, and better standards of life (all-round welfare) [3]. Statement 3 is incorrect; while the UN has played a role in preventing some wars, it has not resolved all major global disputes [2]. Specifically, the Palestine dispute remains one of the most long-standing and unresolved issues on the UN agenda since 1947. Therefore, only statements 1 and 2 are accurate reflections of the organization's origins and mandate.
