The United Nations is an international organization that aims to bring the world's governments together to cooperate on issues of geopolitical security, scientific research, human rights, and environmental sustainability. Established after World War II, the United Nations was created to ensure that another global conflict on that scale would never occur again.

The United Nations is composed of six principal organs: the UN General Assembly, the UN Secretariat, the International Court of Justice, the UN Security Council, the UN Economic and Social Council, and the UN Trusteeship Council.

The UN is headquartered in New York City, United States.


UN General Assembly

The main deliberative assembly of the United Nations, the General Assembly is composed of all UN Member States. The GA is responsible for voting on new admissions into the UN, overseeing the UN budget, appointing members to the Security Council, and recommending courses of action for matters of global importance. Actions taken by the GA are drafted in General Assembly Resolutions and put to a vote; each country is given one vote. Resolutions require a simple majority to pass, unless they pertain to UN membership, major security issues, or budgetary questions.


UN Secretariat

The executive arm of the United Nations, the UN Secretariat is tasked with setting the agenda for the General Assembly, the Security Council, and the Economic and Social Council. It is also responsible for implementing the decisions reached in each of those councils. The Secretariat is headed by the UN Secretary-General. The UN Department of Political Affairs and the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations also fall under the Secretariat.


International Court of Justice

The main judiciary branch of the UN, the International Court of Justice mediates in legal battles between states and issues legal opinions based on international law. It is composed of 15 judges, elected by the General Assembly to 9-year terms, with 5 judges elected every 3 years. The ICJ is located in the Peace Palace in The Hague, Netherlands.


UN Security Council

The UN Security Council is responsible for securing and maintaining international peace and security. Resolutions passed by the Security Council are legally binding and enforced by the UN Peacekeeping Corps. The Security Council is composed of five permanent members and ten members elected to two-year terms. The permanent members have the power to automatically veto any resolution up for the vote.


UN Economic and Social Council

The UN Economic and Social council is responsible for maintaining positive cooperation between states in the areas of economic and social progress. The council is composed of 54 UN member states, elected to rotating three-year terms. Under the purview of this council is the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.


UN Trusteeship Council

The UN Trusteeship Council is in charge of administering UN Trust Territories, former colonial areas of the world that are being prepared for self-rule and independence.
