The United Nations
The United Nations (AKA The UN) was created almost two months after the end of WWII. Founded on October 24, 1945, It is primarily used to keep peace and security through the world. 193 countries are members of this organization compared to the 50 who started this.
Why the UN was Formed
Another reason Was to develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of people and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace.
The last reason is to achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character, and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights for fundamental freedoms for race, sex, language, or religion.

The Founding of the UN was in San Francisco at the Quebec conference in August 1943. The Secretary of State Cordell Hull and British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden agreed to draft a declaration that included a call for a general international organization based on the principle sovereign equality of all nations. An agreed declaration was issued after a foreign ministers conference in Moscow in October 1943. When president Franklin D. Roosevelt met with soviet premier Joseph Stalin in Tehran Iran in November 1943, he proposed an international organization comprising an assembly of all member states and a 10-member executive committee to discuss social and economic issues .U.S, British, Soviet, and Chinese representatives met at Dumbarton Oaks in Washington in August and September 1944 to draft the charter of a postwar international organization based on the principle of collective security. Representatives of 50 nations met in San Francisco April-June 1945 to complete the charter of the United Nations.The senate approved the UN Charter on July 28,1945 and then the UN came into existence on October 24, 1945 after 29 nations had ratified the Charter.
Here’s a video that explains more!! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QoIafzc0k74How The UN Functions
The UN is usually seen as a government considering that it has 193 countries. The UN isn’t a government. However it is an organization that enforces laws throughout the world. The UN has lots of branches that help this organization function.
The UN creates international laws through a team called the “International Law Commission”. This branch of the UN was established three years after the UN was created. In the commission there are thirty-four members who enforce most of the worlds legal systems. Most of the laws enforced are human rights laws. Ensuring freedom from torture and slavery. The UN doesn’t just enforce laws. They help third world countries who have starving people or countries with bad diseases such as AIDS and Ebola.
The “Rule of Law” helps fine peace in countries after a conflict of some kind. Such as the holocaust. The UN contain evidence and the paperwork of treaties made between countries as well and encourage other countries to become allies and make treaties. So the UN has many branches so this organization can work efficiently and productively to enforce laws, peace, and security. The law breakers will attend the International Court of Justice in which they will be in front of a judge. It is kind of like a normal court. Just more serious. There have been a total of 160 cases solved since 1946.
