Explanation
- A
Food and Agriculture Organization
(a) Food and Agriculture Organization. FAO deals with food security and Codex, not the WTO trio of AoA, SPS and the Peace Clause.
- B
United Nations Framework Conference on Climate Change
(b) United Nations Framework Conference on Climate Change. UNFCCC is climate treaties, not farm-trade agreements. (The stem’s wording is UNFCCC-like; it is still the wrong forum.)
- C
World Trade Organization
(c) World Trade Organization. The Agreement on Agriculture, the SPS Agreement and the ‘peace clause’ on farm subsidies are WTO texts and disputes. That is the official key.
- D
United Nations Environment Programme
(d) United Nations Environment Programme. UNEP is environment, not these trade instruments.
Summary. Official key is (c) World Trade Organization. AoA and SPS are WTO agreements; the peace clause is a WTO understanding on farm-subsidy disputes. FAO, UNFCCC and UNEP use other legal kits. Only WTO owns this vocabulary.
