The human race need not one, but two (or maybe more?) World wars, millions of deaths and monumental economic loss to understand that armed intervention may be far from the best solution to resolve political differences, religious or trading between nations. A group of men believed that countries could organize and reach an agreement on their disputes peacefully. The reality is that sometimes it does and sometimes not that many more. However, the United Nations today represent the best human effort to preserve world peace.
The United Nations Organization (UNO) or simply United Nations is the largest international organization exists. It is an association of global governance that facilitates cooperation on issues such as international law, peace and security, economic and social development, humanitarian affairs and human rights.
It was founded on October 24, 1945 in San Francisco (California), by 51 countries after the Second World War, with the signing of the United Nations Charter.
