Show answer
Answer: B. UNMIL (Liberia) ran 2003-2018. MINURCAT (Central African Republic and Chad) ran 2007-2010. MINUSTAH (Haiti) ran 2004-2017. UNMISET (Timor-Leste) ran 2002-2005. So A-3, B-1, C-4, D-2.
Watch for: The similar 2003-2018 and 2004-2017 ranges are easy to swap between Liberia and Haiti.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Wrong because MINURCAT was 2007-2010 and MINUSTAH was 2004-2017.
- C. Wrong because UNMIL ran 2003-2018, not 2002-2005.
- D. Wrong because UNMIL ran 2003-2018 and UNMISET ran 2002-2005.
