Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Install democratic governments in non-democratic countries

The objectives of the United Nations are:

i) To maintain international peace and security;

ii) To develop friendly relations among nations;

iii) To create a healthy atmosphere for world peace by avoiding discrimination of strongest and weakest nations and increasing friendly relations, co-operation and co-ordination.

Disarm, decolonise and develop are the three new objectives set by the UN.
