Correct answer: (c) an agenda for women's empowerment, an outcome of a World Conference convened by the United Nations
Explanation
- A
a strategy to tackle the regional terrorism, an outcome of a meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization
The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation deals with regional security, including terrorism, but the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action is not an SCO counter-terror strategy. This option is not the key.
- B
a plan of action for sustainable economic growth in the Asia-Pacific Region, an outcome of the deliberations of the Asia-Pacific Economic Forum
APEC (not ‘Asia-Pacific Economic Forum’ as labelled here) issues economic declarations; the Beijing Platform is not an APEC growth plan. This option is therefore wrong.
- C
an agenda for women's empowerment, an outcome of a World Conference convened by the United Nations
The Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (1995) is the outcome of the Fourth World Conference on Women, convened by the United Nations. It is an agenda for women’s empowerment and gender equality. This option is the official key.
- D
a strategy to combat wildlife trafficking, a declaration of the East Asia Summit
Wildlife trafficking and the East Asia Summit are unrelated to this UN women’s conference document. This option is not the key.
Summary. Official key is (c) an agenda for women’s empowerment from a UN World Conference. Beijing 1995 remains the landmark global framework on women. SCO, APEC and EAS documents are separate. The place-name Beijing should not be read as a China-led security club. Only (c) is accurate.
