Practice questions
Q1With reference to summit documents and their legal effect in India, consider the following statements: 1. A declaration generally records political consensus and does not automatically become domestic law. 2. A chair's summary necessarily represents unanimous agreement among all participants. 3. Parliament may use Article 253 to legislate even on a matter that would ordinarily have a State-level dimension when implementing an international agreement. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1 and 3 are correct. A declaration can carry political weight without automatically becoming domestic law, and Article 253 gives Parliament broad implementing power. Statement 2 is incorrect because a chair's summary may record discussion precisely where full consensus is absent.
Q2With reference to the constitutional framework governing India's international relations, consider the following statements: 1. Article 51 directs the State to encourage settlement of international disputes by arbitration. 2. Union List Entry 10 deals with participation in international conferences and implementation of their decisions. 3. Article 253 empowers Parliament to make laws for implementing treaties, agreements and decisions taken at international conferences. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1 and 3 are correct. Article 51 includes encouragement of arbitration, while Article 253 authorises parliamentary legislation for treaty and conference-decision implementation. Union List Entry 10 covers foreign affairs; participation in international conferences and implementation of their decisions falls under Entry 13.
Q3Arrange the following subjects in the ascending order of their Union List entry numbers: 1. The United Nations 2. Foreign affairs 3. Participation in international conferences and implementation of decisions made there 4. Diplomatic, consular and trade representation Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Union List Entry 10 covers foreign affairs, Entry 11 diplomatic, consular and trade representation, Entry 12 the United Nations, and Entry 13 participation in international conferences and implementation of their decisions. The ascending sequence is therefore 2-4-1-3.
Q4Consider the following statements about BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO): 1. Both include India, China and Russia. 2. The New Development Bank is linked with the SCO, while the Regional Anti-Terrorist Structure is linked with BRICS. 3. BRICS is not a regional organisation, whereas the SCO has a Eurasian regional character. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1 and 3 are correct. Shared membership does not make the two forums institutionally identical. Statement 2 reverses their institutions: the New Development Bank is linked with BRICS, while the Regional Anti-Terrorist Structure belongs to the SCO.
