In which city is the 15th United Nations Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice being held, where India presented its justice reforms?

  1. A.Doha
  2. B.Abu Dhabi
  3. C.Vienna
  4. D.Kyoto

Correct answer

B. Abu Dhabi

Explanation

The correct answer is Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, where the Congress is being held and where the Indian minister also met the UAE Justice Minister on the sidelines. Option A, Doha, hosted an earlier edition of the same Congress and is therefore the most tempting wrong answer for a candidate who remembers the series but not the current host. Option C, Vienna, is the headquarters of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, which services this Congress, so it is a natural confusion between where a body sits and where a conference meets. Option D, Kyoto, hosted a previous edition as well. The safe way to remember is to attach the edition to the city: the 15th Congress goes with Abu Dhabi, and India was represented there by the Minister of State for Law and Justice.
