The correct answer is option 3: Both 1 and 2.

Explanation:

1. The statement 1 is correct. The UN General Assembly did adopt a resolution banning the death penalty in November 2012. This means that the member countries of the United Nations were encouraged to abolish the death penalty or to at least restrict its use. However, it`s important to note that this resolution is not legally binding.

2. The statement 2 is also correct. India voted against the resolution banning the death penalty. This means that India disagreed with the resolution and chose not to support it. Each country has the freedom to vote according to their own beliefs and policies.

Therefore, both statements 1 and 2 are correct, and the correct answer is option 3: Both 1 and 2. It is worth mentioning that the information provided is based on the given context, and any further updates or developments may alter the accuracy of this answer.
