Question

1. in what way does the united nations differ from the league of nations?

the un has a mandate to protect human rights.
the un conducts conferences concerning health issues.
the un always intervenes when there are problems.
the un maintains its own military troops.

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• Option 1: The UN has a specific mandate (e.g., through bodies like the UN Human Rights Council) to protect human rights, while the League of Nations had no such focused mandate.
• Option 2: Both the UN (via WHO) and the League of Nations (to some extent, though less formally) dealt with health - related matters, so this is not a key difference.
• Option 3: The UN does not always intervene; it follows a complex decision - making process and often relies on member states' cooperation, so this is incorrect.
• Option 4: The UN does not maintain its own standing military troops; it can authorize peacekeeping forces contributed by member states, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

The UN has a mandate to protect human rights.
