Explanation

The chronological order of these treaties is: (iv) The Pact of Paris (1928, also known as Kellogg-Briand Pact), (iii) Convention on the Prevention of Genocide (1948), (ii) European Convention on Human Rights (1950), and (i) Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees (1951). This sequence reflects the post-WWII development of international human rights law, starting with renouncing war, then addressing genocide, establishing regional human rights protection in Europe, and finally creating the refugee protection regime.
