Explanation

  1. A

    2 and 4

    This option includes statements 2 and 4. India has ratified ILO Convention No. 105 (Abolition of Forced Labour Convention, 1957) in 2017, and it is a party to the Geneva Conventions of 1949.

  2. B

    1 and 2

    This option includes statements 1 and 2. India has not ratified ILO Convention No. 122 (Employment Policy Convention, 1964), but it has ratified the Abolition of Forced Labour Convention.

  3. C

    3 and 4 only

    This option includes statements 3 and 4 only. While India has not ratified the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families (1990), the Union Public Service Commission withdrew this question from the final evaluation as multiple combinations created ambiguity regarding India's treaty ratification statuses.

  4. D

    3, 4 and 5

    This option includes statements 3, 4 and 5. India has neither ratified the Migrant Workers Convention nor the Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness (1961), but due to overlapping ratification statuses and conflicting data in standard administrative manuals, the question was dropped by the examination authority. Summary. The Union Public Service Commission withdrew this question from evaluation because of discrepancies in the official ratification records of certain international conventions by India.
