The United Nations (UN) is a massive intergovernmental organization founded after the end of World War II to foster healthy diplomacy; maintain global peace and stability; and facilitate international cooperation.
Based in New York with branches all over the world, the UN is the world's largest international organization.
It consists of six principal organs:
The UN also consists of several smaller agencies, such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The UN overall is led by the secretary-general, who is currently Antonio Guterres.

Chris Sidoti, one of the members of the commission said they saw "active obstruction" by Israel "of our efforts to receive evidence from Israeli witnesses and victims."
Such steps by the IDF and COGAT include fixing a central water pipe, transferring aid trucks, and assisting in opening bakeries.
"The Middle East is on the brink. The people of the region are confronting a real danger of a devastating full-scale conflict. Now is the time to defuse and de-escalate," Guterres told UN.
The meeting comes amid Iran's missile and drone attack on Israel, which saw several allies assist the Jewish State in downing several threats.
European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell condemned the attack, stating in a post on X that it was an “unprecedented escalation and a grave threat to regional security.”
"Biden has been clear: The United States will stand with the people of Israel and support their defense against these threats from Iran,' US National Security Council spokeswoman stated.
"When producing a nuclear bomb, you make a device where the chain reaction is not controlled, so it is much easier. The important point is that our nuclear capabilities are high.”
"We want to stop the humanitarian disaster in Gaza and help kickstart a political peace process leading to the realization of the two-state solution as early as possible," a spokeswoman said.
Earlier on Saturday, the hostages' families met with New York City Mayor Eric Adams at an event coordinated by COJO, an Orthodox organization based in Brooklyn.
