3. WHAT IS UNITED NATIONS?
• The United Nations is an intergovernmental organization whose purpose is to
maintain international peace and security, develop friendly relations among
nations, achieve international cooperation

4. STRUCTURE OF THE UN
• The United Nations (UN) has six main organs. Five of them — the General
Assembly, the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, the
Trusteeship Council and the Secretariat — are based at UN Headquarters in New
York. The sixth, the International Court of Justice, is located at The Hague in the
Netherlands.

5. GENERAL ASSEMBLY
• The General Assembly is the main deliberative organ of the United Nations. It is composed of
representatives from all Member States, each of which has one vote.
The UN General Assembly is the only universally representative body of the United
Nations. The other major bodies are the Security Council, the Economic and Social
Council, the Secretariat, and the International Court of Justice. As delineated in the
Charter of the United Nations, the function of the General Assembly is to discuss,
debate, and make recommendations on subjects pertaining to international peace and
security, including development, disarmament, human rights, international law, and the
peaceful arbitration of disputes between nations

6. THE SECURITY COUNCIL
• The Security Council responds to crises around the world on a case-by-case basis and it has a range of options at its
disposal. It takes many different factors into account when considering the establishment of new peace operation,
including:
• Whether there is a ceasefire in place and the parties have committed themselves to a peace process intended to
reach a political settlement;
• Whether a clear political goal exists and whether it can be reflected in the mandate;
• Whether a precise mandate for a UN operation can be formulated;
• Whether the safety and security of UN personnel can be reasonably ensured, including in particular whether
reasonable guarantees can be obtained from the main parties or factions regarding the safety and security of UN
personnel.

7. ECOSOC
• The Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) coordinates the work of the 14 UN
specialized agencies, ten functional commissions and five regional commissions,
receives reports from nine UN funds and programs and issues policy
recommendations to the UN system and to Member States. Under the UN
Charter, ECOSOC is responsible for promoting higher standards of living, full
employment, and economic and social progress; identifying solutions to
international economic, social and health problems; facilitating international
cultural and educational cooperation; and encouraging universal respect for
human rights and fundamental freedoms. ECOSOC's purview extends over 70 per
cent of the human and financial resources of the entire UN system.

8. TRUSTEESHIP COUNCIL
• 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.
• The Chamber, originally designed by Danish architect Finn Juhl in 1952, has been revamped in a close
collaboration between the UN and the Government of Denmark, with new furniture by Danish designers
Kasper Salto and Thomas Sigsgaard.
• Among the iconic aspects of the room is a statue of a girl with arms upraised, reading towards a bird
which hovers with outspread wings above her head. Carved out of teak wood by Henri Starcke, a Danish
sculptor, it symbolizes Mankind and Hope

9. THE SECRETARIAT
• The Secretariat carries out the substantive and administrative work of the United Nations as
directed by the General Assembly, the Security Council and the other organs. At its head is the
Secretary-General, who provides overall administrative guidance. The main functions of the
Secretariat are:
• To gather and prepare background information on various issues so that government delegates
can study the facts and make recommendations;
• To help carry out the decisions made by the different organs of the United Nations;
• To organize international conferences;
• To translate speeches and distribute documents into the UN’s official languages;
• To keep the public informed about the work of the United Nations.

10. THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE (ICJ)
• The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is the principal judicial organ of the United
Nations (UN). It was established in June 1945 by the Charter of the United Nations
and began work in April 1946.
• The Court’s role is to settle, in accordance with international law, legal disputes
submitted to it by States and to give advisory opinions on legal questions referred to it
by authorized United Nations organs and specialized agencies.
• 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. Its official languages are English and French.

11. UN FAILING TO GIVE HEALTH AND ECONOMIC
SECURITY DURING CORONA PANDEMIC

12. WHY UN FAILED???
• 1. giving in to the super power nations
• 2. showed no power
• 3. given vaccine to mostly rich countries
• 4. failed to share equal number of vaccines
• 5. failed to give the equal importance to every country
• 6. failed to collaborate
• 7. could not impose lockdown importance
• 8. Health precautions
• 9. failed to convince china to control this pandemic.
• 10 Covid negative certificates were not ensured in the first place
• 11. rich countries like Israel and new Zeeland thinking about 4th dose where as some of low income nations do not have 100 % first dose.

13. IMPACT ON ECONOMY
• Vaccine business was over the money
• Dirty politics with the vaccination between nations
• As U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said , “The pandemic is a clear test
of international cooperation – a test we have essentially failed.” There is a
“disconnect between leadership and power,” he said, warning that in the 21st
century’s interconnected world, “solidarity is self-interest,” and “if we fail to grasp
that fact, everyone loses.”

14. GLOBAL ECONOMY DUE TO CORONA
• Early estimates predicated that, should the virus become a global pandemic, most
major economies will lose at least 2.9 percent of their gross domestic product
(GDP) over 2020. This forecast was already restated to a GDP loss of 3.4 percent
• BUT THE UN WAS UNMOVED AND COULD NOT DO ANYTHING

15. UKRAINE VS RUSSIA

16. BURNING QUESTIONS
• Can the Security Council stop the war?
• Why isn’t the UN sending troops into Ukraine to help them fight?
• what can the UN do to help UKRAINE civilians?
• What can the UN do about the allegations of human rights violations

17. WHAT DOES THE GUARDIAN SAYS?

18. UN FAILING IN ISLAMIC COUNTRIES
• IRAQ , LIBYA , Palestine
• WHY WHY WHY
• The Iraq War was a protracted armed conflict in Iraq from 2003 to 2011 that began with the
invasion of Iraq by the United States
• The US military claimed it had no knowledge of civilian casualties. On 19 March 2011, a multi-
state NATO-led coalition began a military intervention in Libya, to implement United Nations
Security Council Resolution 1973, in response to events during the First Libyan Civil War.
• The Israeli–Palestinian conflict is one of the world's most enduring conflicts, with the Israeli
occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip reaching 54 years of conflict. Various attempts
have been made to resolve the conflict as part of the Israeli–Palestinian peace process

19. OVERALL CONCLUSION

•YES!
