The United Nations is an international organization founded in 1945 after the Second World War by 51 countries that pledged to maintain international peace and security, foster friendly relations between nations, and promote social progress, improved living standards, and human rights.
The Organization can make decisions on a wide range of issues, and provide a forum for its 193 Member States to express their views, through the General Assembly, the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, and other organs and commissions.
