The United Nations is an international organization that plays a critical role in promoting global cooperation and addressing the world's most pressing challenges. But how does the UN work? What are its key bodies and how do they interact with each other? In this video, we'll explore the structure of the United Nations, from its main organs to its specialized agencies and affiliated bodies.
We'll start by discussing the UN Charter, and then the six main organs of the UN: the General Assembly, the Security Council, the International Court of Justice, the Secretariat, Economic and Social Council and International Court of Justice. We'll explain what each of these bodies does and how they contribute to the UN's mission of promoting peace, development, and human rights.
Next, we'll delve into the UN's specialized agencies. These agencies work on specific issues related to health, labor rights, and child welfare, among others, and collaborate closely with the UN's main organs to achieve shared goals.
By the end of this video, you'll have a better understanding of the structure of the United Nations and how it works to promote international cooperation and solve global problems.
