The United Nations (UN) is an organization between countries established on 24 October 1945 to promote international cooperation. It was founded to replace the League of Nations following World War II and to prevent another conflict. When it was founded, the UN had 51 members. Now there are 193. Most nations are members of the UN and send diplomats to the headquarters to hold meetings and make decisions about global issues.

The goals of the United Nations are:

To keep world peace.
To help countries cooperate.
To reduce poverty amongst its members
To improve living conditions for people all over the world.
To make the world a better place.^[2]
