United Nations

The United Nations is an organization that is supposed to solve world problems like world wars. The Allies set it up in 1945 after World War II.  The headquarters of the UN is in New York City.  There are 192 member nations, which is most of the countries in the world.  Each country is part of the General Assembly.  Fifteen of  them are in the Security Council to keep the world at peace; the US, China, Britain, France, and Russia are permanent members of the Security Council. So far they have not done a good job.

The flag of the UN shows a world protected by laurel leaves of peace.

Paladin, truer words have never been spoken. Great ideals that have never really worked out. Keep up the good work :)
