Answers
Explanation:
In 1945, World War II was over but the nations were in ruins and the world wanted peace. Fifty-one countries gathered in San Francisco that year to sign a document. The document was a Charter which created an organisation, the United Nations. Established on October 24, 1945, the UN replaced the League of Nations after World War II.
It took the role of peacekeeper of the world and assumed necessary powers to avoid conflicts resulting in a world war through its various agencies or organisations, each established because of a particular role.
Currently, the UN has 193 countries as its members and it is headquartered in New York, USA. The UN not only focuses on peace but also aims at promoting sustainable development, upholding international laws and protecting human rights.
Due to the powers vested in its Charter and its unique international character, the United Nations can take action on the issues confronting humanity in the 21st century, such as:
Peace and security
Climate change
Sustainable development
Human rights
Disarmament
Terrorism
Humanitarian and health emergencies
Gender equality
Governance
Food production etc.
