United Nations Snapshot
Though it shares some traits with hippies, the United Nations is much more than a peace and love cultural movement. Comprising 193 member countries (nearly every country in the world), the UN works toward maintaining international peace and security and finding solutions for global economic and humanitarian problems. It conducts its mission through six main bodies: General Assembly (main deliberative body), Economic and Social Council, International Court of Justice (settles legal disputes between states), Secretariat (day-to-day operations), Security Council (manages international peace and security operations), and Trusteeship Council (oversees a handful of trust territories). The UN was founded in 1945.
