The United Nations came formally into being

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

It was formed at the initiative

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

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.

There are still some states that

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

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

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

It is funded by contributions from member states; the largest single contributor, the United States, has long provided roughly a quarter

of sovereign equality and non-interference won the day.

Later that year the UN

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.”
