Consider the following pairs : International agreement/set-up - Subject 1. Alma-Ata Declaration - Healthcare of the people 2. Hague Convention - Biological and chemical weapons 3. Talanoa Dialogue - Global climate change 4. Under2 Coalition - Child rights Which of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched ?

A

1 and 2 only

B

4 only

C

1 and 3 only

D

2, 3 and 4 only

Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation

1. Pair 1 is correctly matched. The Alma-Ata Declaration of 1978 identified primary health care as the key to the attainment of the goal of Health for All. 2. Pair 2 is incorrectly matched. The Hague Conventions primarily deal with the laws of war and war crimes. Biological and chemical weapons are mainly addressed by the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) and the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). 3. Pair 3 is correctly matched. The Talanoa Dialogue was launched at COP23 (UN Climate Change Conference) to take stock of the collective efforts of Parties in relation to progress towards the long-term goal of the Paris Agreement and to inform the preparation of nationally determined contributions (NDCs), focusing on global climate change. 4. Pair 4 is incorrectly matched. The Under2 Coalition is a group of subnational governments committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to keep global temperature rise well below 2 degrees Celsius. It deals with climate action, not child rights. 5. Therefore, only pairs 1 and 3 are correctly matched.
