The correct pairing that matches an organization with its function is:

African Union: resolve conflicts in sub-Saharan Africa

The African Union's primary objective is to promote peace, security, and stability on the continent, making this pairing accurate.

The other pairings contain inaccuracies:

  • The Commonwealth primarily focuses on fostering cooperation among member states, not specifically promoting economic advancement in Asia.
  • The Warsaw Pact was a military alliance that was more focused on collective defense among member states rather than solely preventing the spread of communism.
  • The European Union does have a role in resolving disputes, but its primary functions are broader, encompassing economic integration and cooperation among member states.
  • COMECON was intended to promote economic cooperation among Eastern Bloc countries, not just trade.

Thus, African Union: resolve conflicts in sub-Saharan Africa is the correct choice.
