UNITED NATIONS
The United Nations is
an international organization founded in 1945. It is currently made up of
193 Member States. The mission and work of the United Nations are guided
by the purposes and principles contained in its founding Charter.
The Secretary-General
of the United Nations is a symbol of the Organization's ideals and a spokesman
for the interests of the world's peoples, in particular the poor and
vulnerable. The current Secretary-General of the UN, and the eighth occupant of
the post, is Mr. Ban Ki-moon of the Republic of Korea, who took office on 1
January 2007. The UN Charter describes the Secretary-General as "chief
administrative officer" of the Organization.
Each of the 193
Member States of the United Nations is a member of the General Assembly.
States are admitted to membership in the UN by a decision of the General
Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council.
The main organs of the UN are the General Assembly, the Security
Council, the Economic and Social Council, the Trusteeship Council, the
International Court of Justice, and the UN Secretariat. All were established in
1945 when the UN was
founded.
