UNITED NATIONSIt is an organization established on 24 October 1945 after the Second World War and includes 51 independent states to promote international peace and security. It currently has 193 member states and 54 countries that are not part of the United Nations. The Covenant of the League of Nations“For the purpose of promoting international cooperation and achieving international peace and security through the acceptance of the obligation not to resort to war, by the prescription of open, just and honorable relations between nations, through the firm establishment of the understandings of international law as the effective rule of conduct between governments, and through the maintenance of justice and scrupulous compliance with all treaty obligations in the relations of organized peoples with each other, agree to this Covenant of the League of Nations." MEMBERSHIP Article 4, Chapter 2, of the Charter of the United Nations states that its membership is open to all countries which are favorable to peace and which will accept and bind the Charter of the United Nations OBJECTIVES • Maintenance of peace throughout the world.• Develop friendly relations between all nations.• Work together as a united team to help people live their lives in a better way, do as much as possible to eliminate poverty, diseases like AIDS, etc. and illiteracy. throughout the world, to stop environmental destruction and to promote and encourage people to respect each other's rights and freedoms.• Help nations achieve these goals.PRINCIPLES• All Member States have sovereign equality.• All Member States will have to obey the Charter.• Countries will have to try to resolve their differences peacefully.• Countries will have to avoid using force or threatening to use force or threatening in any way.• The UN will not be... halfway through paper… …the Executive where the executive applies the law established by the legislation, however the organization lacks this and therefore has weak execution of decisions. Disarmament IssueThere is a rush among nations to acquire the most dangerous and deadly weapons to make them strong military forces. One of the goals of the United Nations is to work towards disarmament but it failed due to the cold war between the superpowers. CONCLUSION every organization has shortcomings but in my opinion it is one of the most effective global organizations in the history of time. Hope still lies in the United Nations regarding maintaining peace around the world. The future of many third world countries is in the hands of this particular organization. It is therefore the duty of all States to promote international peace and security and to respect every nation and its rights.
