Correct Answer:
B. September 1947
Pakistan officially joined the United Nations Organization (UNO) on September 30, 1947. This pivotal event occurred just over a month after its independence on August 14, 1947, marking its formal entry into the international community as a sovereign state. Pakistan became the 51st member of the United Nations, a crucial step for the newly independent nation to establish its presence and assert its sovereignty on the global stage. The resolution for its membership was passed by the UN General Assembly, providing Pakistan with a platform to engage in international diplomacy, advocate for its interests, and participate in global efforts for peace and development.
- August 1947: Pakistan gained independence in August 1947, but the process of applying for and being admitted to the UNO took some time after its birth. Membership required formal application and approval by the UN General Assembly.
- October 1947: While close, the actual admission date was specifically in September, making this option incorrect. The admission process concluded before the start of October.
- 1948: Pakistan was already a full and active member of the UNO throughout 1948. This year marks a period of active participation in UN affairs rather than the initial joining.
