The United Nations (UN) is an international


organization founded in 1945 after the Second
World War by 51 countries committed to
maintaining international peace and security,
developing friendly relations among nations, and
promoting social progress, better living standards,
and human rights. Headquartered in New York City,
the UN has expanded to include 193 member states
and operates through various specialized agencies,
programs, and initiatives aimed at addressing a wide
array of global challenges. With a mandate rooted
in its founding charter, the UN strives to foster
cooperation, dialogue, and mutual understanding
among nations to tackle issues ranging from armed
conflicts and humanitarian crises to climate change
and sustainable development. Through diplomacy,
peacekeeping efforts, development assistance, and
advocacy, the United Nations continues to serve as
a vital forum for international cooperation and as a
beacon of hope for a more just and peaceful world.

Last:::::Conclusion
Despite having many short-
comings, UN has played a crucial
role making this human society
more civil, more peaceful & secure
in comparison to time of its
origin at 2 World War. United
Nations, being the world’s
largest democratic body of all
nations, its responsibility
towards humanity is very high in
terms of building democratic
society, economic development of
people living in acute poverty, &
preserving the Earth’s Ecosystem
in concern with Climate Change.

The General Assembly is the main deliberative organ of the UN


and is composed of representatives of all Member States. The
work of the United Nations year-round derives largely from
the mandates given by the General Assembly.
Comprising all Member States of the United Nations, it
provides a unique forum for multilateral discussion of the full
spectrum of international issues covered by the Charter. The
Assembly meets in regular session intensively from September
to December each year, and thereafter as required.
Decisions on important questions, such as those on peace and
security, admission of new members and budgetary matters,
require a two-thirds majority. Decisions on other questions are
by simple majority. Each country has one vote.

The Security Council has primary responsibility, under the UN


Charter, for the maintenance of international peace and
security.

The Council is composed of five permanent members - China,


France, Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United
States - and ten non-permanent members.

The non-permanent members are elected by the General


Assembly for two-year terms.

Each Council member has one vote. Decisions on procedural


matters are made by an affirmative vote of at least nine of the
15 members. Decisions on substantive matters require nine
votes, including the concurring votes of all five permanent
members. This rule is often referred to as the "veto" power. A
reform of the Security Council, including its membership, is
under consideration.

Economic and Social Council

The Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) is the principal


organ to coordinate the economic, social and related work of
the United Nations and the specialized agencies and
institutions. Voting in the Council is by simple majority; each
member has one vote.

International Court of Justice

The International Court of Justice, located at the Hague in


the Netherlands, is the principal judicial organ of the United
Nations. It settles legal disputes between States and gives
advisory opinions to the UN and its specialized agencies. Its
Statute is an integral part of the United Nations Charter.

Trusteeship Council

The Trusteeship Council was established in 1945 by the UN


Charter to provide international supervision for 11 Trust
Territories placed under the administration of 7 Member
States, and ensure that adequate steps were taken to prepare
the Territories for self-government and independence. By
1994, all Trust Territories had attained self-government or
independence. Its work completed, the Council has amended its
rules of procedure to meet as and where occasion may require.

Secretariat
The Secretariat - an international staff working in duty stations around the world -
carries out the diverse day-to-day work of the Organization. It services the other
principal organs of the United Nations and administers the programmes and policies laid
down by them.

The duties carried out by the Secretariat are as varied as the problems dealt with by
the United Nations. These range from administering peacekeeping operations to
mediating international disputes, from surveying economic and social trends and
problems to preparing studies on human rights and sustainable development.

Secretariat staff also inform the world's communications media about the work of the
United Nations; organize international conferences on issues of worldwide concern; and
interpret speeches and translate documents into the Organization's official languages.
