The United Nations, in response to the ongoing Liberian Civil War, has recently approved the imposition of some strict policies, which are specifically applicable to the volatile situation there.


strict policies, which are specifically applicable to the volatile situation there

strict policies, where the volatile situation can have these measures specifically applied to it

policies that are strict, measures specifically applicable to their volatile situation

strict policies, measures specifically applicable to Liberia's volatile situation


policies that are strict and specifically applicable to the volatile situation there

Because 'there' does not have correct reference. You may say that 'Liberian' is reference for 'there', but Liberian is set off by commas. So you can not use the same.

IMO in D, between policies and measures "AND" should be put. This is the only option which removes the ambiguity of the place. The strict policies and measures are list items those are imposed by UN.

Personally I don't like this sentence. Subject of this sentence is 'The United Nations', if you think literally then it is plural. However, we know 'UN' is 'singular'.

Because the word there does not have the right antecedent. there is intended to stand for Liberia. However, Liberia does not appear in the sentence earlier. What appears is Liberian. Liberian and Liberia are two entirely different things and cannot stand for one another.

Why would you think literally? Why would you consider the United Nations plural? It is a proper noun. It is one organization and has to be singular. There are no two ways about it. Do you consider the United States plural?

Thanks Nik. That's the most correct response.

UN being singular or plural is out of scope here.

I agree with you that UN is singular, but what if person doesn't know what UN is and just comprehend 'those nationas which are united for something'. In that case United nations is plural.

The United states is all together different case. Everyone in this world knows about United States. So people know it is country.

Btw...I solved this by replacing United Nations by UN

Even for those unfamiliar with the UN, the capital U and N in United Nations is a giveaway that it is a proper noun and cannot be plural at any cost.
