Consider the following statements:1.The United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) has a 'Protocol against the Smuggling of Migrants by Land, Sea and Air'.2.The UNCAC is the ever- first legally binding global anti-corruption instrument.3.A highlight of the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC) is the inclusion of a specific chapter aimed at returning assets to their rightful owners from whom they had been taken illicitly.4.The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) is mandated by its members States to assist in the implementation of both

1. A

   1 and 3 only

   (a) 1 and 3 only. Statement 1 is false: the Protocol against the Smuggling of Migrants by Land, Sea and Air belongs to UNTOC, not UNCAC. Statement 3 is also false: the asset-return chapter is a highlight of UNCAC, not UNTOC. The pair is not the key.

2. B

   2,3 and 4 only

   (b) 2, 3 and 4 only. It keeps the false UNTOC-asset chapter. Not the key.

3. C

   2 and 4 only

   (c) 2 and 4 only. UNCAC is the first legally binding global anti-corruption treaty. UNODC is mandated to help States implement both UNCAC and UNTOC. The migrants protocol is a UNTOC protocol, and stolen-asset return is UNCAC Chapter V, so 1 and 3 fail. That is the official key.

4. D

   1,2,3 and 4

   (d) 1, 2, 3 and 4. Two of the four statements are false, so the all-correct code is wrong.

Summary. Official key is (c). UNCAC is the first binding global anti-corruption instrument. UNODC services both UNCAC and UNTOC. The Smuggling of Migrants Protocol is under UNTOC, not UNCAC. Returning stolen assets is a UNCAC highlight, not a UNTOC chapter. Only 2 and 4 survive.
