INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION IN THE FIELD OF SCIENCE, CULTURE, LAW AND CUSTOMS BUSINESS
Unit 1.1.
The United Nations System
Introduction
Read the text to fulfil the tasks
The United Nations (UN) is an international organization whose stated aims are to facilitate cooperation in international law, international security, economic development, social progress, human rights and achieving 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 currently 192 member states, including nearly every recognized independent state in the world. From its headquarters on international territory in New York City, the UN and its specialized agencies decide on substantive and administrative issues in regular meetings held throughout the year. The organization is divided into administrative bodies, primarily:
- The General Assembly (the main deliberative assembly);
The Security Council (decides certain resolutions for peace and security);
The Economic and Social Council (assists in promoting international economic and social cooperation and development);
The Secretariat (provides studies, information and facilities needed by the UN);
The International Court of Justice (the primary judicial organ).
Additional bodies deal with the governance of all other UN System agencies, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). The UN's most visible public figure is the Secretary-General, currently Ban Ki-moon of South Korea, who attained the post in 2007. The organization is financed from assessed and voluntary contributions from its member states, and has six official languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish.

Организация, подобная ООН, называлась Лигой Наций и была основана в 1919 году, после Первой мировой войны. Эта организация не смогла сохранить мир. Организация Объединенных Наций была основана в 1945 году как преемник Лиги Наций. Основная задача ООН – поддержание мира и безопасности во всем мире. ООН пытается помочь странам преодолеть разногласия в ходе переговоров друг с другом. Кроме того, она обеспечивает встречи представителей стран, во время которых обсуждаются самые разные вопросы. Почти все страны мира в настоящее время являются членами ООН. Из крупных стран членами ООН не являются только Швейцария и Тайвань.
