some info about the UN...
The United Nations (UN) is an
international organization whose stated aims are to facilitate cooperation in
international law,
international security,
economic development,
social progress and
human rights issues. The UN was founded in 1945 to replace the
League of Nations, to stop wars between nations and to provide a platform for dialogue.
There are now 192
member states, including almost every recognized independent
state. From its
headquarters on international territory within
New York City, the UN and its specialized agencies decide on substantive and administrative issues in regular meetings held throughout the year. The
organization is divided into administrative bodies, primarily:
The
General Assembly (the main
deliberative assembly);
The
Security Council (decides certain resolutions for peace and security);
The
Economic and Social Council (assists in promoting international economic and social cooperation and development);
The
Secretariat (provides studies, information, and facilities needed by the UN);
The
International Court of Justice (the primary judicial organ).
Additional bodies deal with the governance of all other
UN System agencies, such as the
World Health Organization (WHO) and
United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). The UN's most visible public figure is the
Secretary-General, currently
Ban Ki-moon of
South Korea.
The UN is financed from assessed and voluntary contributions from member states, and has six official languages:
Arabic,
Chinese,
English,
French,
Russian, and
Spanish.
