The United Nations (UN), international organization of countries created to promote world peace and

develop good relations between countries, promote cooperation in solving the world’s problems, and encourage
respect for human rights. The UN is an organization of countries that agree to cooperate with one another. It brings
together countries that are rich and poor, large and small, and have different social and political systems. Member
nations pledge to settle their disputes peacefully, to refrain from using force or the threat of force against other
countries, and to refuse help to any country that opposes UN actions. UN membership is open to any country
willing to further the UN mission and, abide by its rules each country, no matter how large or small, has an equal
voice and vote. Each country is also expected to pay dues to support the UN. As of 2004 the UN had 191
members, including nearly every country in the world.
The UN’s influence in world affairs has fluctuated over the years, but the organization gained new
prominence beginning in the 1990s. It was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2001. Still, the UN faces constant

their own authority and follow the dictates of the UN.
