Which one of the following statements is NOT correct about NATO ?
Explanation
Statement D is incorrect because Sweden is the latest member of NATO, not Finland. Sweden officially became the 32nd member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization on March 7, 2024, following the completion of its accession process. Finland had previously joined as the 31st member on April 4, 2023.
- Statement A: NATO was indeed established by the signing of the Washington Treaty (North Atlantic Treaty) on April 4, 1949.
- Statement B: Russia is not a member of NATO; it is often viewed as the primary strategic challenge to the alliance.
- Statement C: NATO derives its legal authority from Article 51 of the UN Charter, which reaffirms the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence.
Since Sweden's accession, Finland is no longer the most recent country to join the alliance.
