To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace;
To achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character, and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion; and
To be a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations in the attainment of these common ends.

City and county courts have limited jurisdiction on municipal issues. Whose case would a city or county court be most likely to

Marta_Voda [28]

Many US states have county court systems which deal with administrative matters as well as jurisdiction over civil cases. However, city and county courts have limited jurisdiction on municipal issues. These courts cover one or more counties, which are administrative divisions within a country. However, they are different from the medieval system of county courts which were held by the High Sheriff of each county. For example: a resident fighting a ticket for parking on a city street may be considered a municipal case to be dealt at a city or county court. So, option "b" is the right answer.
