**The United Nations: A Global Effort for Peace and Cooperation**

The United Nations (UN), established in 1945 after the devastating Second World War, is an international organization committed to maintaining international peace and security, developing friendly relations among nations, achieving international cooperation in solving international problems, and being a center for harmonizing the actions of nations. It replaced the ineffective League of Nations, aiming to prevent future global conflicts through dialogue and collective security.

The UN operates through several principal organs. The General Assembly is the main deliberative, policymaking, and representative organ. Comprising all 193 Member States, it provides a unique forum for multilateral discussion of international issues covered by the UN Charter. Each member state has one vote. While its resolutions are not legally binding, they carry significant moral and political weight.

The Security Council has primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. It has 15 members: five permanent members (China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States) and ten non-permanent members elected for two-year terms. Decisions on substantive matters require nine votes, including the concurring votes of all five permanent members, giving them veto power.

Other major organs include the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), which coordinates the economic, social, and related work of 15 specialized agencies, their functional commissions and five regional commissions; the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the principal judicial organ of the UN, settling legal disputes between states; and the Secretariat, the administrative arm, headed by the Secretary-General, who is the UN"s chief administrative officer and also acts as its de facto spokesperson and leader.

The UN"s work extends to various critical areas: peacekeeping, humanitarian assistance, human rights, sustainable development, and climate action. Through its specialized agencies like the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF, it tackles global health crises, poverty, and inequality. Despite facing challenges such as funding issues, political disagreements among members, and the complexity of global problems, the UN remains a vital platform for global dialogue and collective action, striving to address issues that no single nation can solve alone.

What is the primary purpose of the United Nations, as stated in the passage?

• A. To establish a global government.
• B. To maintain international peace and security and promote cooperation.
• C. To manage the global economy and trade.
• D. To settle all legal disputes between individuals.
