Which organization served as a venue for conciliation and arbitration to prevent another war?

• A. International Court of Justice
• B. United Nations
• C. World Trade Organization
• D. League of Nations

Answer: (D)

The League of Nations was created after World War I to keep the peace by giving disputes a peaceful path to resolution. It offered a formal venue for negotiation, mediation, and arbitration between states, with mechanisms aimed at preventing conflicts from escalating into war. This focus on conciliation and arbitration as the primary means to avoid future wars is what makes it the best fit.

The other options serve different roles. The International Court of Justice is a judicial body that settles disputes with the consent of states, but it operates within the later United Nations framework rather than being the dedicated forum aimed at preventing war throughconciliation. The United Nations is broader in scope, encompassing many peacekeeping tools and agencies, not solely a venue for conciliation and arbitration. The World Trade Organization handles trade rules and economic disputes, not security-focused dispute resolution.
