It was formed at the initiative

on June 26th, 1945, succeeding the League of Nations.

The United Nations came formally into being

and to “refrain... from the threat or use of force against... any state.”

Under the UN Charter, member-states bound themselves to “settle their international disputes by peaceful means”

of the countries that had fought Hitler’s Germany.

From an original membership

of 51 in 1945, the total has risen to 209.

Although these promises have not always been realized, the organization has created an international forum

that embraces the vast majority of the world’s nations.

There are still some states that

are not members, such as Tonga and Monaco.

The Council has 15 members: 10 of them are elected

Agriculture Organization in Rome; and the International Monetary Fund in Washington.

The central body of the UN – its parliament – is the General Assembly, based in

New York, but its subsidiary agencies are located throughout the world.

by the General Assembly for a term of two years each, and five are permanent members.

has the right only to make recommendations to governments

The General Assembly

is the Security Council, which, in theory, has the authority to impose decisions on member-states.

the principles of sovereign equality and non-interference in each other’s internal affairs.

In the long run, however, principles

of the UN’s budget since it is rich enough to do it.

It is an important date: the Charter is the foundation of international law, resting on

of sovereign equality and non-interference won the day.

Churchill immediately supported the idea of big power hegemony, with characteristic cynicism: “the eagle should permit

the small birds to sing and care not wherefore they sang.”

Later that year the UN

of sovereign equality and non-interference won the day.

In the long run, however, principles

was founded with 50member states.
