3. Company analysis: (500 words)

The United Nations was the second multipurpose international organization established in
the 20th century that was worldwide in scope and membership. Its predecessor, the League
of Nations, was created by the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 and disbanded in 1946. UN has
the below purposes

To keep peace throughout the world;

To develop friendly relations among nations

To help nations work together to improve the lives of poor people, to conquer hunger, disease and
illiteracy, and to encourage respect for each other’s rights and freedoms;

To be a center for harmonizing the actions of nations to achieve these goals.

In addition to this, The UN charter was drawn up in San Francisco in 1945, and was based on
proposals made at an earlier meeting between the USSR USA China and Britain held at Dumbarton
Oaks (USA) in 1944.

I will elaborate on the organizational structure of UN here: The Charter of United Nations
established six main bodies of the United Nations Organization: the General Assembly, the Security
Council, the Economic and Social Council, the Trusteeship Council, The International Court of Justice
and the Secretariat. Sixth principal organ, the Trusteeship Council, suspended operations in 1994,
upon the independence of Palau, the last remaining UN trustee territory and now it has five Principal
Organs.
 Paper: Managerial Sills
Assignment_2018
Four of the five principal organs are located at the main UN Headquarters in New York City. The
International Court of Justice is located in The Hague. The six official languages of the United
Nations, used in intergovernmental meetings and documents, are Arabic, Chinese, English, French,
Russian, and Spanish. On the basis of the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United
Nations, the UN and its agencies are immune from the laws of the countries where they operate,
safeguarding the UN's impartiality with regard to the host and member countries. 

In financial review as United Nations ‘headquarters is located in New York United Nations generates
$1.3K in revenue peremploye United Nation’s top competitor is Globcal, led by David Wright, who is
their Co-Founder & CEO. United Nations has 358 followers on Owler. The estimated annual revenue
is $12.7M, with 10,000 estimated employees.

United Nations common system The United Nations, its subsidiary bodies, thirteen of the specialized
agencies (ILO, FAO, UNESCO, WHO, ICAO, UPU, ITU, WMO, IMO, WIPO, IFAD, UNDIO, and UNWTO),
and one related body (IAEA) are part of the United Nations common system of salaries, allowances,
and benefits administered by the International Civil Service Commission. Most, but not all, of the
members of the United Nations System are part of the common system; the Bretton the WTO
utilizes theOECD common system. The UN common system was established to prevent Woods
institutions (i.e. the World Bank Group and the IMF) are notable exceptions. Competition amongst
organizations of the United Nations System for staff and to facilitate co-operation and exchange
between organizations. Some international organizations that are not part of the United Nations
System (and therefore not members of the common system) but who voluntarily follow the policies
of the common system in whole or in part include: Organization for Security and Co-operation in
Europe (OSCE) , and Organization of American States (OAS).
