UN Events Chronological Ordering

The question requires arranging specific United Nations events in descending chronological order. This means ordering them from the most recent event to the earliest event.

Key UN Event Dates

To determine the correct order, let's establish the dates for each event:

B UN operation in Congo established 1960
E U. Thant appointed Secretary General of the United Nations 1961 (Acting appointment)
A UN peacekeepers sent to Cyprus 1964
