Introduction:

The international system is built around various organizations that enable cooperation between
countries in various areas such as trade, security and human rights. These organizations come in
different forms: international, multilateral and regional. They all share the common goal of
maintaining international peace, promoting economic and social development, and enhancing
human well-being. In this report, we look at one such international organization - the United Nations
(UN), its formation, objectives, members and role in the current world order.

Formation:

The United Nations (UN) was founded on October 2

, 19

5, after the end of World War II, as the world sought a way to ensure that such a devastating conflict
would never happen again. The United Nations is an intergovernmental organization with 193
member states, headquartered in New York, USA. The organization was created by the Charter of the
United Nations, which was signed by 51 countries, including five permanent members of the
Security Council: the United States, Great Britain, France, the Soviet Union and China.

Objectives:

The main objective of the United Nations is to maintain international peace and security through
conflict prevention and resolution. The organization strives for this by promoting cooperation
between countries, promoting economic and social development and protecting human rights. To
this end, the United Nations has established several bodies, including the General Assembly, the
Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, the International Court of Justice and the
Secretariat.

Members:

Currently the United Nations has 193 member states, including all recognized sovereign states of the
world. The organization is open to all peace-loving countries that accept the obligations arising from
the Charter of the UN and are ready to promote the achievement of the goals of the organization.
Members are admitted to the UN by decision of the General Assembly on the recommendation of
the Security Council. The five permanent members of the Security Council have veto power,
meaning they can block any substantive resolution or decision they disagree with.
Role in the Current World Order:

The United Nations played a crucial role in shaping the current world order. The organization played
a key role in promoting international cooperation and resolving conflicts between countries. For
example, the UN played a major role in ending the Korean War in 1953, the Cuban Missile Crisis in
1962, and the Persian Gulf War in 1991. The UN also established several peacekeeping operations in
conflict zones around the world, including Bosnia and Somalia. and Rwanda.

The United Nations has also been actively involved in promoting economic and social development
throughout the world. The economic and social council of the organization is responsible for
promoting economic and social cooperation and development. The United Nations has played a key
role in reducing global poverty and improving health and education in developing countries.

In addition, the United Nations has been a pioneer in promoting human rights and protecting
vulnerable populations around the world. The organization's Universal Declaration of Human Rights,
adopted in 19

8, affirmed the basic human rights to which all people are entitled, regardless of race, creed or
nationality. The UN has also established several bodies to promote and protect human rights and
prosecute those who violate them, including the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights
and the International Criminal Court.

The United Nations (UN) has made significant contributions to the world in various fields such as
peacekeeping, human rights, environmental protection and global health. Here are some of the main
contributions of the United Nations to the world:

Peacekeeping: The United Nations has been involved in many peacekeeping missions around the
world. These missions are designed to help countries facing conflicts or post-conflict situations. The
UN sends soldiers, police and civilian personnel to maintain peace and security. Since its inception,
the United Nations has sent more than 70 peacekeeping missions, and those missions have helped
save countless lives.

Human Rights: The United Nations has been a pioneer in promoting human rights and protecting
vulnerable populations. The organization's Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted in 19

8, affirmed the basic human rights to which all people are entitled, regardless of race, creed or
nationality. The United Nations has established several bodies, including the Office of the High
Commissioner for Human Rights and the International Criminal Court, to promote and protect
human rights and prosecute those who violate them.

Environmental protection: The United Nations has played an important role in promoting
environmental protection and sustainable development. The United Nations Environment Program
(UNEP) is responsible for promoting sustainable environmental practices and addressing
environmental issues such as climate change, deforestation and pollution. The United Nations also
established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to provide scientific information
on climate change and its potential impacts.

Global Health: The United Nations has played an important role in promoting global health and
reducing the spread of infectious diseases. The organization's World Health Organization (WHO) is
responsible for managing global health problems, including developing policies and guidelines for
health problems such as HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis. The UN has also played an important
role in responding to pandemics such as COVID-19, coordinating global efforts to contain its spread
and develop vaccines.

Women's empowerment: The United Nations has been actively engaged in gender equality and
women's empowerment. The Women, Peace and Security Action Plan aims to increase the
participation of women in peace processes and promote their rights and protection during and after
conflict. The UN also established the UN Agency on Gender Equality (UN Women) to promote
gender equality and empower women.

In short, it can be stated that the UN has made an important contribution to the world in various
fields. The organization's peace missions, human rights promotion, environmental protection, global
health and women's empowerment initiatives have helped create a more peaceful, just and
sustainable world. Although the UN faces challenges in achieving its goals, the organization remains a
key player in promoting international cooperation and responding to global challenges.

Conclusion:

In short, the United Nations (UN) is one of the most critical international organizations in the world
today. The main goal of the organization is to maintain international peace and security, promote
economic and social development. The organization's members include all recognized sovereign
states, and its role in the current world order cannot be overstated.
