Question

what role does the UN system play in global politics?

Answer 1

The history of the United Nations

The United Nations was established shortly after World War II as an intergovernmental organization. It was to become the successor of the League of Nations, formed by the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 to promote international relations, peace and prosperity. When it did not combat the Second World War, the League of Nations ceased its activities.In 1945, delegates from 50 nations met in San Francisco, where they drafted the proposed Charter of the United Nations. On 26 June 1945, the Delegates signed the Treaty, which was then ratified by the United Kingdom , the United States, France, China and the Soviet Union and a host of other Member States on 24 October 1945. Although the United Nations originally had a small 51 member states (Poland, which was not included in the United Nations Meeting, was the 51st), as of 2014 its membership grew to 193.
