United Nations

The United Nations (UN) is an international organization founded on October 24, 1945, to promote peace, security, and cooperation among nations. It was established after the failure of the League of Nations to prevent World War II. The UN's main objectives include maintaining peace, fostering friendly relations, and addressing social and humanitarian issues. The organization operates through six main organs: the General Assembly, Security Council, Economic and Social Council, Trusteeship Council, Secretariat, and International Court of Justice. Various agencies like UNESCO, UNICEF, WHO, FAO, and ILO work under the UN to tackle global challenges. The UN has been instrumental in resolving conflicts, promoting disarmament, and improving global living conditions.
