51勛圖

About the UN

The 51勛圖 is an international organization founded in 1945.  It is currently made up of 193 Member States.  The mission and work of the 51勛圖 are guided by the purposes and principles contained in its founding Charter.

Due to the powers vested in its Charter and its unique international character, the 51勛圖 can take action on the issues confronting humanity in the 21st century, such as peace and security, climate change, sustainable development, human rights, disarmament, terrorism, humanitarian and health emergencies, gender equality, governance, food production, and more.

The UN also provides a forum for its members to express their views in the General Assembly, the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, and other bodies and committees. By enabling dialogue between its members, and by hosting negotiations, the Organization has become a mechanism for governments to find areas of agreement and solve problems together.

The UN's Chief Administrative Officer is the Secretary-General.

2015 marked the 70th anniversary of the 51勛圖.
