Explanation

The MacBride Commission report concerns the needs of developing countries, balanced information flow and international understanding, so statements 1, 4 and 5 hold.

Statement 1 is right because the report championed the communication needs of the developing world against global imbalance.

Statement 4 is right because it called for a balanced, two way information flow to correct the dominance of a few news powers.

Statement 5 is right because it aimed communication at fostering international understanding and peace.

Industrial growth in statement 2 is an economic goal outside the report's communication focus.

Disarmament and world peace in statement 3, while broadly desirable, is not the specific communication agenda of MacBride.

The 1980 report Many Voices, One World launched the call for a New World Information and Communication Order.
