Question

Which of the following is not a chief organ of the United Nations Organisations?

• A. International Labour Organisation
• B. Security Council
• C. International Court of Justice
• D. General Assembly

Hint:

Recall the UN Charter's six principal organs and note ILO's status as a specialized agency.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The United Nations has six principal organs. Let's see which of the given bodies does not belong to that list.

1. International Labour Organisation: This is a UN specialized agency, not one of the six principal organs, so it fits the question and is the correct answer.
2. Security Council: This is one of the six principal organs, responsible for maintaining international peace and security.
3. International Court of Justice: This is also one of the six principal organs, serving as the UN's main judicial body, seated at The Hague.
4. General Assembly: This is another of the six principal organs, the main deliberative body where all member states are represented.

Since ILO is a specialized agency and not a principal organ, it is the one that does not belong, making International Labour Organisation the correct answer.
