After visiting the UN grounds in Geneva, I wanted to read a little more about it, and this is some of the information I got from Wikipedia:
The United Nations is an international organization whose stated aims are facilitating cooperation in international law, international security,economic development, social progress, human rights, and ACHIEVEMENT OF WORLD PEACE. The UN was founded in 1945 after World War II to replace the League of Nations, to stop wars between countries, and to provide a platform for dialogue.
There are 193 member states, including every internationally recognized sovereign state in the world butVatican City.
The League of Nations failed to prevent World War II (1939–1945). Because of the widespread recognition that humankind could not afford a third world war, the United Nations was established to replace the flawed League of Nations in 1945 in order to maintain international peace and promote cooperation in solving international economic, social and humanitarian problems.
