Founded in 1945, the U.N. first represented 50 countries that met in San Francisco
at the United Nations Conference on International Organization to draw up the
United Nations Charter. Representatives from the Soviet Union, China, the United
Kingdom, and the United States had previously met in 1944 in preparation for the
charter, which was signed on June 26, 1945. The U.N. became officially into
existence on October 24, 1945, which is also celebrated as United Nations Day
each year.
The main body of the U.N. is the General Assembly where each of the 193
countries are represented. There is also the Security Council, which primary
responsibility is related to peace and security throughout the world. It has 15
members, 5 of which are permanent, and encourages all parties in a dispute to
settle it by peaceful means. The council can impose sanctions or authorize use of
force in some cases.
There is the Economic and Social Council which has 54 members and they discuss
and provide recommendations related to economic, social, and environmental
issues. The Trusteeship Council provides international supervision for 11 Trust
territories, areas in the world in 1945 that were in the process of preparing to be
self-governing and independent. The territories reached those goals, and the
council now exists on an as-needed basis.
The International Court of Justice is the main judicial organ of the U.N. and its seat
is located at the Peace Palace in The Hague, Netherlands. It is the only body
located outside the U.N.'s main headquarters in New York City. Their role is to
settle legal disputes and give advice and opinions on legal questions referred to it.
