Question

Democracy in the international organisations requires that ___________
A.The rich countries should have a greater say
B.Countries should have a say according to their military power
C.Countries should be treated with respect in proportion to their population
D.All countries in the world should be treated equally

Answer 1

Hint: Democracy is often defined as the government of the people, by the people and for the people. It is considered the best form of government when compared to other forms such as anarchy, monarchy, oligarchy, dictatorship etc.

Complete answer: Democracy in international organizations ensures that "All countries in the world should be treated equally". Democracy anywhere in the world advocates for the principle of equality. The countries of the world irrespective of their financial power, military power or diplomatic power are equal and so they should have an equal share in international organizations. They should also share the burden equally.
Most of the time we see the domination of the developed western nations in these organizations as they are the prime sponsors. The underdeveloped and developing nations of the east however find it difficult to register and raise their issues and make them global concerns. The concerns of the eastern countries should be made equally worthy of attention. In the past two decades, we see regional organizations of these countries make this possible.
Therefore, the correct answer is “D”.

Note: Recently, the “Economist Intelligence Unit” published a Democracy Index for 2019. Norway has topped the Democracy Index which included 167 nations. India ranks 51st in the Index. North Korea was ranked at the bottom with a rank of 167.
