Explanation

The United Nations Credentials Committee is a standing committee of the United Nations General Assembly, not the Security Council. It is appointed at each regular session of the General Assembly. Therefore, statement 1 is incorrect. The Committee traditionally meets at the beginning of each regular session of the General Assembly in the autumn, usually in September, to examine the credentials of representatives of Member States. It does not traditionally meet in March, June, and September every year. Therefore, statement 2 is incorrect. Its primary function is to examine the credentials of representatives of Member States to the General Assembly and to report to the General Assembly thereon. This assessment is crucial before the General Assembly formally approves the credentials. Therefore, statement 3 is correct. Based on the analysis, only statement 3 is correct.
