2. India was admitted to the United Nations Organization in the year 1945.

keywords: 

{'united nations organization': [0, 0, 2, 0], 'trusteeship council': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'charter': [0, 0, 2, 1], 'territories': [3, 2, 7, 9], 'such territories': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'switzerland': [9, 3, 9, 11]}

The UN Charter was not adopted in Geneva, Switzerland; it was in San Francisco, USA in June, 1945. This makes the first statement incorrect.

The second statement is correct. India became a member of the United Nations on October 24, 1945 immediately after the organization was created.

Regarding the third statement, it is also correct. The Trusteeship Council was indeed established to provide international supervision for 11 Trust Territories that had been placed under the administration of seven Member States, and ensure that adequate steps were taken to prepare the Territories for self-government or independence. Most of the territories, including those taken from Japan and Italy after Second World War, were under this system.

So, the correct answer is option 3: statements 2 and 3 are correct.
