Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Article 2(1) of the Paris Convention gives "nationals of any country of the Union" the same protection and legal remedies in every other Union country as that country grants its own nationals. Article 3 extends this to nationals of non-Union countries who are "domiciled" in, or have "real and effective industrial or commercial establishments" in, a Union country. Membership of the United Nations is irrelevant, and the Convention permits no exception for countries with which a member has fought wars.
