Which one of the following States had proposed the creation of Troika in place of Secretary General of United Nations?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
In 1960, during the Congo crisis, the Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev proposed at the UN General Assembly that the single Secretary-General be replaced by a "troika" of three persons representing the Western, socialist and neutral blocs. The USSR was angered by Dag Hammarskjold's handling of the Congo operation. The proposal was rejected, and the office remains in a single person under Article 97 of the UN Charter.
