2. WHATIS UNO ?
The UNO (United Nations Organization) was founded in 1945 after
the Second World War by 51 countries committed to maintaining
international peace and security, developing friendly relations among
nations and promoting social progress, better living standards and
human rights. The United Nations is headquartered in the New York
City in a complex designed by a board of architects led by Wallace
Harrison and built by the architectural firm Harrison & Abramowitz.
The complex has served as the official headquarters of the United
Nations since its completion in 1951. It is in the Turtle
Bay neighborhood of Manhattan, on 17 to 18 acres (6.9 to 7.3 ha) of
grounds overlooking the East River. Its borders are First Avenue on
the west, East 42nd Street to the south, East 48th Street on the north,
and the East River to the east. The term Turtle Bay is occasionally
used as a metonym for the UN headquarters or for the United Nations
as a whole.

3. How the un was formed?
As World War II was about to end in 1945, nations were in ruins, and the
world wanted peace. Representatives of 50 countries gathered at the United
Nations Conference on International Organization in San Francisco,
California from 25 April to 26 June 1945. For the next two months, they
proceeded to draft and then sign the UN Charter, which created a new
international organization, the United Nations, which, it was hoped, would
prevent another world war like the one they had just lived through.
Four months after the San Francisco Conference ended, the United Nations officially began,
on 24 October 1945, when it came into existence after its Charter had been ratified by China,
France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, the United States and by a majority of other
signatories.

4. MAINBODIES OF THE UN
The United Nations (UN) is divided into six main bodies. They are :-
 UN General Assembly
 UN Secretariat
 UN Security Council
 UN Economic and Social Council
 UN Trusteeship Council
 International Court of Justice

5. Un general assembly
The General Assembly is the main deliberative, policymaking and
representative organ of the United Nations. Comprising all 193
Member States of the UN, it provides a unique forum for multilateral
discussion of international issues including peace and security.

6. Un Secretariat
The United Nations Secretariat carries out the day-to-day work of the UN as mandated by the General
Assembly and the Organization's other main organs. The Secretary General is the head of the Secretariat,
which has tens of thousands of UN staff members working at duty stations all over the world. UN staff
members are recruited internationally and locally, and work in duty stations and on peacekeeping missions.
Serving the cause of peace in a violent world is a dangerous occupation. Since the founding of the United
Nations, hundreds of brave men and women have given their lives in its service.
The Secretariat is organized along departmental lines, with each department or office having a distinct area
of action and responsibility. Offices and departments coordinate with each other to ensure cohesion in the
UN’s programme of work. Much of the UN Secretariat is located in New York City, USA. The UN also has
three major Offices outside of its Headquarters and five Regional Economic Commissions.

7. Un security council
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is one
of the six principal organs of the United Nations
(UN), charged with ensuring international peace and
security, recommending the admission of new UN
members to the General Assembly, and approving
any changes to the UN Charter.

8. Un economicand social council
Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), one of the six principal
organs of the United Nations (UN), responsible for the direction and
coordination of the economic, social, humanitarian, and cultural
activities carried out by the UN. It is the UN's largest and most
complex subsidiary body.

9. Un trusteeshipcouncil
The Trusteeship Council, one of the main organs of the UN,
was established to supervise the administration of trust territories as they
transitioned from colonies to sovereign nations. The Council suspended its
activities in 1994, when Palau, the last of the original 11 trust territories,
gained its independence.

10. International court of justice
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is the
principal judicial organ of the United Nations (UN).
The Court is composed of 15 judges, who are
elected for terms of office of nine years by the United
Nations General Assembly and the Security Council.
It is assisted by a Registry, its administrative organ.
