Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

Investigate violations of human rights.

The United Nations has established the International Human Rights Commission to monitor the implementation of human rights and investigate violations. It does not have the jurisdiction to make human rights laws. In case an investigation shows breach of human rights by any country, it can provide a detailed report and present it to the member countries for discussion.
