About United Nations
After the famous World War II in 1945, the entire world seeks for peace as nations were in ruined states. Therefore, Representatives of 50 countries came together at the United Nations Conference on International Organization in San Francisco, California from 25 April to 26 June 1945.
These countries went ahead to establish and sign the UN Charter, which created a new international organization (United Nations), with the aim of preventing another world war.
The United Nations officially kicked off after four months after the conclusion of the San Francisco Conference on 24 October 1945. The United Nations is committed to maintaining international peace and security, giving humanitarian assistance to those in need, protecting human rights, and upholding international law.
