Over the past decade, interest in cybersecurity has increased as the number of cyberattacks on government administrations’ networks, water regulation systems and power plants targeting system applications rises.

Binty has been asked to address an audience on the topic of cybersecurity. She has read different articles and reports and arrived at the following conclusions:

If kept up-to-date, older professional software is less vulnerable than the latest software.

Unstable Internet connections make it more difficult to quickly detect cyberattacks.

Internet-accessible system applications are difficult to hack if the right protocols are followed.

People often do not follow the protocols. However, most violations of the protocols are unintentional.

People violate the protocols more often at work than at home.

Mobile applications that enable access to system applications are difficult to hack.

Organizations that have received mandatory cybersecurity training are 15 times less vulnerable to hackers than organizations that have not received such training.

Which one of the following recommendations has the biggest positive impact on cybersecurity?

Provide mandatory training and _________.

Select one:

discourage people from working from home using an internet connection

heavily sanction people who intentionally violate protocols

invest in a stable Internet connection

provide employees with mobile devices

Read the question below and select the best answer.

Research into post-conflict nations in 1980 concluded that nations were less likely to lapse back into states of conflict if steady development aid were provided directly to Governments, as opposed to direct intervention which aims to impose solutions on local populations. As a result of this research, most donor nations shifted their funding models from direct intervention to national-level financial aid. In 2010, however, researchers found that post-conflict nations, on average, were worse off than they had been before 1980 despite there having been no increase in overall levels of reported government corruption.

Which of the following, if true, best resolves the contradiction in the research finding in the above passage?

Select one:

On average, donor nations tended to provide variable or sporadic development aid.

Government corruption meant that only a portion of aid was ever used as intended.

There were more post-conflict countries in 2010 than there were in 1980.

The post-conflict development agenda had changed significantly by 2010.

Ceren is working for a peacekeeping mission that has experienced conflicts between different rebel groups. The mission aims to serve as an impartial mediator of the conflict through meetings. Today, Ceren has been informed that a group of five people, Tumoka, Umar, Vassar, Jacob and Asoku, who are the key members of the two rebel groups, the KiKi and the Mimi, will visit her to discuss their concerns. Ceren needs to know which rebel group each visitor belongs to before the meeting; however, she has only the following information:

Umar and Asoku belong to different rebel groups.

Tumoka and Jacob belong to the same rebel group.

Vassar and Umar don't belong to the Kiki.

Accordingly, which of the following would definitely be an incorrect assumption that Ceren should avoid?

________ is a member of the __________.

Select one:

Umar; Mimi

Jacob; Mimi

Asoku; KiKi

Vassar; Mimi

Toni is preparing a presentation that he is going to give to colleagues entitled, The Future of Addressing Refugee Crises. At the end of his presentation, Toni will make recommendations. Read what Toni is going to say about the Roles of the State and of Private Enterprise and decide which recommendation would be most consistent with what he says earlier.

Historically, the three main durable solutions to a refugee crisis — resettlement, repatriation, and local integration — have all been about reintegrating refugees into a state. Increasingly, however, the private sector is playing a role. Recently, the IKEA Foundation, for example, gave the largest private sector grant in the history of the United Nations to UNHCR, donating €110 million. Other multinational corporations are also increasingly engaging with the work of UNHCR. Private enterprise can mobilize resources almost instantly compared with most state entities. However, it would only take one case of serious exploitation to discredit the potential role of business and undermine its potential contribution to refugee protection.

On the basis of what he plans to say during his presentation, which recommendation should Toni make at the end of it?

Select one:

States should not be considered solely responsible for protecting the human rights of refugees under all circumstances.

States, and the international community, should be the first to address refugee crises.

Private sector corporations should be encouraged to lead efforts to address refugee crises.

Clear ethical rules and principles should be in place to guide private sector engagement with refugee assistance.

Read the following paragraph and answer the question.

Submission by the Mayor of Castell-Foy

“It is our assertion that it is inappropriate to have unarmed police officers serving on the streets of Castell-Foy and is contrary to our traditional policing expectations and practices. It also puts unarmed officers at greater risk of harm than their armed counterparts.

A review of data on aggression towards police officers shows that, in the post-conflict turmoil, police officers face on average 112 potentially violent interactions every month. Typically, 38 of those result in actual violence. They, in turn, lead to a minor injury to a police officer in 32 per cent of cases and more significant harm in 4 per cent of cases.

Furthermore, these data show that an unarmed officer will receive a minor injury in 41 per cent of these cases and significant harm in 6 per cent. We deem it unacceptable to put our unarmed officers at this kind of risk and conclude that the increase in the chance of harm to an unarmed police officer is intolerable.”

Which one of the following facts would strengthen the argument described in the passage above?

Select one:

63 per cent of potentially violent interactions involving unarmed police officers ended in actual violence.

In Castell-Foy, unarmed police officers are given more negotiation training than their armed colleagues.

13 per cent of the incidents of significant harm inflicted on unarmed police officers lead to a permanent disability.

Studies show that armed officers feel more confident about dealing with potentially violent interactions than their unarmed counterparts.

Read each passage and answer the question that follows.

Chief Inspector Tanaka is planning police patrols in the region of Marisberg. Her unit has forty officers, 20 of whom are female. To improve planning, she consults the following analysis of data collected during previous patrols in the region.

Recent data gathered on the policing operations in post-conflict operations in Marisberg suggest that gender has an effect on responses from the local population. The presence of female police officers generally reduces hostility towards police patrols. The higher the proportion of females in the patrol, the more marked the effect. In rural areas, older local males are less likely to co-operate with directions given directly by a female or young male police officer than those given by an older male colleague. This effect appears to be more extreme at night. Female officers have been found to be far more effective when gathering evidence from female witnesses.

Assuming that the results of the analysis have been thoroughly replicated and are in fact true, which of the following would be the most reasonable way for Chief Inspector Tanaka to plan the police patrols?

Select one:

Ensure that all patrols have a mix of male and female police officers.

Ensure that all patrols have more male than female police officers.

Have all male patrols in rural areas and at night but otherwise have mixed patrols.

Have some patrols that are mixed gender and some that are entirely female.

Read the following paragraph and answer the question.

Su works as a corrections officer in Parawe, a post-conflict country that is experiencing violence among three major ethnic groups: Arnstown, Buletti and Cedars. At present, the level of violence inflicted by prison officers against prisoners is a cause for concern. There are four established prisons in Parawe. In prisons one, two and three, it is reported that about 20 per cent of a random representative sample of prisoners experience abuse. This figure is much higher in prison four, reaching levels as high as 55 per cent. While the first three prisons have prisoners and prison officers from the same ethnic group, prison four is a mixed ethnic prison with at least 70 per cent of prisoners originating from the Cedars region. Su concludes that the violence against prisoners by prison officers in prison four had an ethnic basis, specifically targeting those from the Cedars region.

Which of the following would best support Su’s conclusion?

Prison officers for prison four were drawn ________________.

Select one:

from Buletti and Cedars

from Arnstown and Buletti

in equal parts from all three regions

from Arnstown and Cedars

Which one of Kim’s conclusion is correct given the data presented in the above table?

Select one:

The number of onsets of violent events rose over the period considered.

From the 1960s onwards, there was a steady increase in the number of onsets of violence in countries with a previous conflict.

The proportion of countries with “a previous conflict” rose over the period considered.

There were 33 instances of onsets of violence in countries with no previous conflict during the 1990s.

Select one:

States should not be considered solely responsible for protecting the human rights of refugees under all circumstances.

States, and the international community, should be the first to address refugee crises.

Private sector corporations should be encouraged to lead efforts to address refugee crises.

Clear ethical rules and principles should be in place to guide private sector engagement with refugee assistance.

Read the question below and select the best answer.

An impeccable logic makes arms embargoes a potentially powerful instrument in the array of United Nations peace- and security-building mechanisms. By denying aggressors and human rights abusers the implements of war and repression, arms embargoes contribute directly to preventing and reducing the level of armed conflict. There could hardly be a more appropriate tool for international peacemaking. Moreover, in constricting the supply of only specific weapons and military-related goods and services, and in denying them to ruling elites, their armies and other violent combatants, arms embargoes constitute the best example of a smart sanction. Not only do arms embargoes avoid doing harm to vulnerable and innocent civilian populations, but the better the embargoes’ enforcement, the more innocent lives are likely to be saved.

Which of the following is an underlying assumption of the main argument?

Arms embargoes_________________.

Select one:

can target rebel movements fighting against a legitimate government.

require the successful accumulation of appropriate information.

are the most beneficial form of sanction if imposed properly.

are best applied against governments posing a threat to civilian populations.

Read the question below and select the best answer.

The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty allows the United States of America, the Russian Federation, China, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and France to have nuclear weapons if they commit themselves to eventually disarming. Nuclear countries have, however, recently embarked on highly ambitious and costly programmes, largely unexamined outside national security circles, to renew the strategic and tactical weapons in their arsenals. The race for ever-more nuclear weapons has become, instead, a race for ever-better, ever-sleeker and ever-stealthier weapons. These transformations and upgrades, designed to make weapons harder to shoot down and more precise and reliable, using smaller yields that would create less collateral damage and less radioactive fallout, will render them even more perilous than ever.

Which of the following, if true, would strengthen the assertion that nuclear weapons will become more perilous than ever?

Select one:

The world’s non-nuclear countries will now have reason to pursue their own nuclear weapon programmes.

The spread of nuclear weapons, if not stopped, will lead to political turmoil.

The use of nuclear bombs will be seen as more reasonable in a limited or tactical conflict.

Tomorrow’s nuclear arsenals will be managed in more unpredictable ways by unstable Governments.

Read the question below and select the best answer.

Cheng is monitoring Sohusira, a country that has recently emerged from a prolonged conflict during which government forces fought the RFF, a rebel separatist group. There has been a recent discovery of a single 15-ton weapon cache in the northern part of Sohusira, which is controlled by the RRF, despite a signed ceasefire agreement. The discovery has halted negotiations. The RRF maintains that the weapons do not belong to them and accuse the Government of having planted them in order to derail the peace process.

Cheng’s manager asks him, based on reported information, to identify where the weapons were made, who brought them in and how they were purchased. The following information is available to Cheng:

1.The weapons discovered were either Caarmine, or Schiene copies of Caarmine weapons, and entered the country less than a month ago.

2.If the weapons were not purchased in uncut diamonds, they were purchased in United States dollars.

3.The weapons entered the country either at the Zanj or the Azania border crossing in a single truckload.

4.If the weapons entered through the Zanj border crossing, they were either purchased in United States dollars, or were Schiene-made, or both.

5.If the arms were Caarmine-made, the RRF is responsible for the cache. If not, the Government planted the cache.

6.INTERPOL reported that the weapons smuggler responsible deposited $10 million in his bank account. However, the arms were not purchased in cash.

7.The bridge at the Azania border crossing has been under repair for three months and, while still open for crossing, can handle only cargo loads of 12 tons or less.

The weapons were _______, _________, and paid for in __________.

Select one:

Schiene-made; planted by the Government; diamonds

Schiene-made; belonged to the RRF; diamonds

Caarmine-made; belonged to the RRF; United States dollars

Diana is working on a report on the United Nations response to mass atrocities. She would like to include a recommendation based on the following extract.

Human Rights Up Front Initiative

The Secretary-General’s Human Rights Up Front initiative speaks to the essence of the United Nations. It is a lens through which the Organization will re-examine how it responds to threats of serious violations of international human rights and humanitarian law and thereby identify the actions needed to prevent the kinds of avoidable mass atrocities that have occurred in the recent past. Its success depends on leadership at every level: to show the courage to speak up for the values in the Charter of the United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, to support staff demonstrating such courage, to encourage teamwork and collaboration and to harness the diverse mandates of the United Nations system with a view to the achievement of the United Nations system’s core purposes.

Based on this extract, which of the following would be the most reasonable recommendation for Diana to make in her report?

The United Nations must_________________________.

Select one:

improve how its staff respond to impending mass atrocities

increase funding for humanitarian staff operating in fragile States

improve its ability to manage the aftermath of mass atrocities

expand its capacity to report human rights violations and atrocities

Read the following paragraph and answer the question.

Rossanna is working on a report on water resources. She decides to summarize the following extract from a report that she has read.

Water Scarcity

Politicians and the media often debate short-term geopolitical issues that are not going to materialize, while ignoring unfolding developments with long-term consequences. One of the pressing issues often overlooked is water access and use. As water shortages become more prevalent, compounded by the degradation of water quality, the threat of conflict over fresh water increases. Local disputes about water use can easily spill over into other dimensions. Global demand is already outstripping water-renewable capacity, forcing communities to access previously unexploited sources where water has slowly accumulated over thousands, maybe even millions, of years. Of all the natural resources, water, and the scarcity thereof, poses the biggest challenge because it is fundamental to human survival.

Which of the following statements best summarizes the extract above?

Select one:

Water access and use will become drivers of violent international conflict.

Politicians and the media tend to overemphasize immediate challenges.

The importance of water is underappreciated as a geopolitical risk.

Politicians and the media see water shortages as a serious global threat.

Read the following paragraph and answer the question.

Bani was asked by his manager to write a recommendation based on the following extract on field missions.

Facilities & Services in Field Missions

The recent call made by the Organization to move from positive-will to clear action on improving gender diversity, which has received endorsement at all levels, was made in full recognition of the importance of resolving cross-cutting issues throughout the entire Organization. The growing global competition for talented women has increased the pressure to align organization-wide policies, such as greater efficiency and geographic diversity, with efforts to develop more proactive talent retention strategies and practices. When it comes to the start-up phase of field missions, the provision of adequate “female-friendly” facilities and services needs to be the standard operating procedure. The integration and engagement of the female workforce would greatly improve if standards across missions were created, comprehensive reviews of the physical environment conducted and clear timelines for addressing concerns established.

Based on this extract, which of the following would be the most reasonable recommendation for Bani to include?

Missions should _____________________.

Select one:

be provided with clear guidelines on how to achieve gender balance

improve amenities to better accommodate female staff

appoint a senior advisor to monitor progress on gender issues

develop communications strategies to retain female staff

Read each passage and answer the question that follows.

Henrietta is looking into the impacts of conflict on development for a policy document that she is working on. She would like to include a summary from this passage.

Conflict and Development

People in fragile and conflict-affected States are more than twice as likely to be undernourished as those in other developing countries, more than three times as likely to be unable to send their children to school, twice as likely to see their children die before age 5, and more than twice as likely to lack clean water. On average, a country that experienced major violence over the period from 1981 to 2005 has a poverty rate 21 percentage points higher than a country that saw no violence. A similar picture emerges for subnational areas affected by violence in richer and more stable countries — areas where development lags behind.

Based on this extract, which represents the best summary for Henrietta to include in her policy document?

Violence and conflict-affected populations ______________________.

Select one:

experience long-lasting negative impacts

pay a heavy financial opportunity cost

tend to be in developing countries

suffer from a lack of available resources

Read the question below and select the best answer.

Deployment of Standby Partners

The Secretariat is developing a set of guidelines for standby partners supporting the United Nations in humanitarian emergencies, and will invite NGOs, donors and government agencies to establish strategic arrangements that would enable their capabilities as standby partners to be quickly and effectively drawn on under-defined conditions and during defined time periods. These standby capabilities will become part of the Humanitarian Response Capability Readiness System and are expected to provide additional capacity and expertise during the early phase of emergency response. Potential arrangements for rapid and time-bound redeployment of assets and capabilities from existing operations to meet initial needs during crises will also be explored. While such arrangements are not a substitute for properly resourced and structured deployments, they could provide alternative means to respond to emergencies.

What conclusion can be drawn from this passage? Choose the best answer below.

Standby partners ______________________.

Select one:

are part of a strategic framework to reduce the need for regular deployments

provide short-term surge capacity to humanitarian emergencies

are more specialized than staff sent on regular, structured deployments

fulfil a political imperative rather than a practical need

Read the following paragraph and answer the question.

Misha is looking into reports related to transitions in peace operations. She would like to make a recommendation based on the following extract.

Transitions of Peace Operations

Based on a report by the High-level Independent Panel on Peace Operations

United Nations (UN) peace operations must, from the outset, work towards grounding peace in a way that would render their support obsolete. It would benefit the peace process if progress in relation to the package of measures agreed upon with the host government were regularly reviewed, and the mandate and the UN’s support to developments on the ground were adapted over time. This could include a limited set of carefully selected benchmarks that focus on efforts that would most successfully deepen, broaden and sustain peace. It is essential that ongoing analysis and impact measurement be undertaken with national and UN partners so that they may take on and advance work initially carried out by UN peace operations.

Having read this extract, which of the following would be the most reasonable recommendation for Misha to make regarding transitional measures?

Select one:

Transitional policies and processes of the UN should be driven by an external, neutral third party.

A continuous assessment of local circumstances should inform the UN’s mandate during the peace process.

Mission transition stakeholders should establish clear lines of reporting and accountability.

National and UN partners should direct transitional measures from the outset.

Read the following paragraph and answer the question.

Vaisua is working on a report on human trafficking. He decides to summarize the following extract from a report that he has read.

Internal Displacement

The level of internal displacement associated with conflict and disasters is rising every year. This mainly affects low- and lower-middle income countries, where governments struggle to cope with, respond to and recover sustainably from the impact of internal displacement. Currently, internally displaced persons outnumber refugees by two to one worldwide. Yet international policy tends to focus on the needs of refugees and migrants, not those of internally displaced persons. Some countries lose the attention of the international community, only to re-emerge once new waves of internal displacement threaten stability. This indicates that the underlying causes of conflict and displacement remain unaddressed. Consequently, displacement will continue to take a heavy toll on communities and national economies, unless the drivers of conflict, poverty, environmental damage and State fragility are addressed.

Which of the following best summarizes the extract above?

Internal displacement is both _______ and ______.

Select one:

recurrent; damaging

growing; misinterpreted

unresolved; contested

consistent; unmanageable

Read the passage below and select the best answer.

Hiring of a New Liaison Officer

Bharat was not greatly welcomed when he started his post as the new Liaison Officer. He lacked his predecessor’s charm and easy manner and local partner organizations demonstrated some initial hostility toward him, even going so far as to ask for his removal within a week of his arrival on post. Many recall that his predecessor considered many of the local partners as friends and regularly socialized with them outside of work. Their hostility was soon overcome as it became clear that Bharat was knowledgeable and a person of high integrity. Within weeks, partner organizations were bringing issues to him that they had been reluctant to address with his predecessor for fear of creating conflict.

What conclusion can be drawn from this passage? Choose the best answer below.

Select one:

Partner organizations should advise on hiring decisions when partnerships are at risk.

Liaison Officers should avoid personal relationships with local partners.

Trustworthy and credible Liaison Officers produce productive partnerships.

Being friendly and agreeable is the most important quality for a Liaison Officer.

Read the following paragraph and answer the question.

Patrick is seeking to summarize notes from interviews conducted with a number of experienced field officers. He has been given the following passage.

Adjusting to Work in the Field

The experience of many officers working in the field for the first time is the frustration of the different pace at which things move compared to head offices, and the different approaches necessary to achieve results. Without an understanding of the expectations and values of local workers, organizations, and particularly governmental organizations, delays can appear to be deliberate or even malicious. The high motivation of the new officer and the urgency of the task are thrown into stark contrast with the linear nature of many processes – this cannot be done until that is complete, and that cannot be completed until the other has been approved. Even the acquisition of the basic materials required to get things done can provoke delays. Knowing the right people and getting the right advice can speed things up by a small amount, but are of greater value for the insights they provide about a particular community or culture. Yet these insights can also provide a fresh source of frustration.

Which option represents the best summary of this passage for Patrick to use?

Select one:

Unfamiliar and bureaucratic processes can be challenging for new field officers.

Work in the field is often deliberately obstructed by local partners, regardless of the importance of a goal.

The best way to achieve goals in the field is to get to know others who are familiar with the issues and enlist their support.

Facilities are more basic in the field than in head offices which can lead to delays.
