The United Nations was formed in 1945 to maintain international peace and security. It has 193 member nations and its headquarters are in New York City. The UN works to protect human rights, deliver humanitarian aid during crises, support sustainable development, and promote international law. It carries out these tasks through specialized agencies like the World Health Organization, World Bank, and UNESCO that focus on issues like health, poverty reduction, and education. Having an international body helps ensure the rights of citizens are respected, conflicts between countries are reduced, and vulnerable groups like children are supported globally.
