CONNECTIONS

The international organization known as the United Nations was founded in 1945 after the already existent League of Nations failed to live up to its aims as it did not prevent the Second World War. In 1945 51 countries signed the UN’s charter to dedicate to maintain international peace and security. Today the United Nations have 192 members and many peacekeeping operations. An organisation that maintains international peace and security, developing friendly relations between nations (member states) and promoting social progress, better living standards and human rights. While the original charter proclaims the need for global peace the UN works on fundamental issues such as sustainable development, environment and refugees protection, disaster relief, terrorism, disarmament and non-proliferation to promoting democracy, human right, gender equality and the advancement of women, governance, economic and social development, health and more to ensure to its most extent in achieving its goals and co-ordinate efforts for a safer world for the present and future generations. The United Nations was created after World War II to provide an international forum that would develop positive relationships between countries, promote peace and security around the world, and establish international cooperation in solving international economic, social, cultural, and humanitarian problems. The purpose of the United Nations is to bring all nations of the world together to work for peace and development, based on the principles of justice, human dignity and the well-being of all people. It affords the opportunity for countries to balance global interdependence and national interests when addressing international problems. The United Nation aims to keep peace throughout the world, to develop friendly relations between nations, to work together to help people live better lives, to eliminate poverty, disease and illiteracy in the world, to stop environmental destruction and to encourage respect for each other's rights and freedoms and, to be a centre for helping nations achieve these aims.
