THE UNITED NATIONS
Aims
The stated aims of the United Nations are to maintain international peace and security, to safeguard
human rights, to provide a mechanism for international law, to promote social and economic
progress, improve living standards, and fight diseases. It provides the opportunity for countries to
balance global interdependence and national interests when addressing international problems.
Toward these ends it ratified the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. The organization
occupies itself at present in the fields of economic development, world health, the state of the
environment, the health of animals, education, and refugee work. The organization also discusses
and deliberates global conflicts, wars, disarmament and peace effort.
History
The United Nations was founded as a successor to the League of Nations, which was widely
considered to have been ineffective in its role as an international governing body, in that it had been


unable to prevent World War II. Some argue that the UN's major advantage over the League of
Nations is its ability to maintain and deploy its member nations’ armed forces as peace keepers. The
UN came into existence on 24 October 1945, after the Charter had been ratified by the five
permanent members of the UN Security Council - the Republic of China, France, the Soviet Union,
the United Kingdom, and the United States. Initially, the body was known as the United Nations
Organization, or UNO. However, by the 1950s, English speakers were referring to it as the United
Nations, or the UN.
Headquarters
The United Nations headquarters is a golden rectangular building in New York City. It is located in
the Turtle Bay neighborhood, on the east side of Midtown Manhattan, on spacious grounds

overlooking the East River. Though the building is in New York City, the land occupied by the
United Nations Headquarters is considered international territory. There are also major UN agencies
in Geneva, The Hague, Vienna, Montreal, Copenhagen, Bonn, and elsewhere.
Financing
The UN is financed from assessed and voluntary contributions from member states. The regular
two-year budgets of the UN and its specialized agencies are funded by assessments. The General
Assembly approves the regular budget and determines the assessment for each member. This is
broadly based on the relative capacity of each country to pay, as measured by their Gross National
Income (GNI) with adjustment for external debt and low per capita income.
