The United Nations

united nations

United Nations
The United Nations (UN) is an international organization whose stated aims are to facilitate co-operation in international law, international security, economic development, social progress and human rights issues. The United Nations was founded in 1945 to replace the League of Nations, in the hope that it would intervene in conflicts between nations and thereby avoid war. The organization began with fifty countries signing the United Nations Charter. The organization's structure still reflects in some ways the circumstances of its founding. The five permanent members of the UN Security Council, each of which has veto power on any UN resolution, are the main victors of World War II or their successor states (alphabetical order): the People's Republic of China (which replaced the Republic of China); the French Republic; the Russian Federation (which replaced the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics); the United Kingdom; and the United States of America.

The six principle oprgans of United Nations are:-

General Assembly

Security Council

Economic andTrusteeship council

International Court of Justice

Secretariat

Trusteeship council

GENERAL ASSEMBLY
The United Nations General Assembly (GA, UNGA) is one of the five principal organs of the United Nations. It is the main deliberative organ of the United Nations. It is made up of all United Nations member states and meets in regular yearly sessions under a president elected from among the representatives. As the only UN organ in which all members are represented, the Assembly serves as a forum for members to discuss issues of international law and to make decisions regarding the functioning of the organization.

THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE

The key principle is that the Court only has jurisdiction on the basis of consent. The court has no true compulsory jurisdiction. Jurisdiction is often a key question for the Court, because it is challenged by the respondent. At the Preliminary Objections phase, a respondent may challenge (i) jurisdiction and/or (ii) admissibility of the case. Article 36 outlines four bases on which the Court's jurisdiction may be founded. Only states may be parties in contentious cases before the ICJ. Individuals, corporations, parts of a federal state, NGOs, UN organs and self-determination groups are excluded from direct participation in cases, although the Court may receive information from public international organisations. This does not preclude non-state interests from being the subject of proceedings if one state brings the case against another. For example, a state may, in case of "diplomatic protection", bring a case on behalf of one of its nationals or corporations.

SECURITY COUNCIL
It is the most powerful organ of the United Nations.It is responsible for security and peace in the world.It comprises of 15 member states out of which only 5 are permanent.Its main function is to recommend General assembly for the addmission of its members to theUnited Nations.
