\nStatement C is NOT correct. NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) was formed by the signing of the North Atlantic Treaty (Washington Treaty) in 1949 (Statement A is correct). It is an alliance of sovereign states based on this treaty. While the UN Charter’s Article 51 recognizes the inherent right of individual or collective self-defense (which NATO members can invoke), NATO does not derive its authority *from* the UN Charter. Its authority comes from the mutual agreement of its member states as outlined in the North Atlantic Treaty. Statement B is correct as Russia is not a member of NATO. Statement D is correct as Finland joined NATO in April 2023, becoming the 31st member (Sweden joined in March 2024 as the 32nd, making Finland the latest member at the time this information was prominent).
\n<\/section>\n
\n– NATO’s foundation is the North Atlantic Treaty.
\n– NATO operates based on decisions made by its member countries.
\n– While consistent with the right to self-defense in the UN Charter, NATO is an independent alliance, not subordinate to the UN.
\n<\/section>\n
\nNATO is a political and military alliance whose primary purpose is to guarantee the freedom and security of its members through political and military means. Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty states that an attack against one member shall be considered an attack against all, invoking the principle of collective defense.
