UN risks and crises: history and modernity

In 1945, after the end of World War II, the world community faced the question of maintaining security and international peace, and it was with this purpose that the United Nations was created. The United Nations Organization (UN) is an international organization of states whose main goals are the maintenance and strengthening of international peace, security, and the development of cooperation between countries. The UN is an organization of independent states that voluntarily join the Organization, taking on the obligations contained in the UN Charter, which is an international treaty that reflects the basic principles of international relations.
