The United Nations was established after a long series of meetings, conferences and declarations by the Allied Powers post-World War II. The process began in 1941 with the London Declaration that first proposed for the establishment of an international organisation to maintain world peace and prevent a third World War from ever taking place.
With 26 signatories and 5 permanent members, the United Nations gave the world its much needed ray of hope. As the years passed by the United Nations grew in strength, taking on board all countries willing to comply with the principles of the organisation. The strength of the General Assembly of the UN stands at a staggering 193 member states.
Since it's founding, the United Nations has worked tirelessly to serve the global community. The UN Channel traces the works of the United Nations since 1945 and its impact internationally. The blog attempts to timeline the ups and the downs of the United Nations right from its first resolution, through the Cold War and into the 21st century.
