The correct pairings are:

  1. African Union: resolve conflicts in sub-Saharan Africa
  2. COMECON: promote trade in Communist Eastern Europe

Here's a brief breakdown of each organization mentioned:

  • The Commonwealth: Primarily focuses on promoting democracy, development, and cultural ties among member nations rather than specifically promoting economic advancement in Asia.

  • African Union: Correctly aligns with the mission to resolve conflicts and facilitate peace in sub-Saharan Africa.

  • Warsaw Pact: Its primary function was to establish a military alliance among Eastern Bloc countries, rather than actively preventing the spread of Communism, which was more so the objective of NATO.

  • European Union: While addressing various issues, its functions are broader than just resolving border disputes.

  • COMECON: It was established to promote economic cooperation and trade among Communist states in Eastern Europe.

Thus, the best responses are the African Union and COMECON pairings.
