Uzbekistan and the UN

• People have dreamed of a peaceful and united world throughout history. The United Nations officially came into being at the end of the Second World War. In 1945, in order to achieve this dream. The primary purpose of the UN is to maintain peace and security throughout the world and to develop friendly relations among nations. Within this broad aim its agencies also try to assist with economic and social problems, and to promote human rights and freedoms.
• Since 1945 there has not been another world war, but this does not mean that the UN has had nothing to do. There have been a number of small conflicts of terrible ferocity in places around the world such as Korea, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Iran and Iraq, the War in Kuwait and the conflicts in the Balkans. Such conflicts are great problems which can only be solved through international cooperation. The UN provides a forum for such international cooperation.
• The only time that all member nations actually meet together is at the General Assembly. Here representatives from each of the 185 states which make up the UN meet to discuss the world’s problem and how to solve them. There are two working languages at the UN: English and French, but five official languages are used for meetings: Chinese, French, Russian, Spanish and English. Arabic is also used as an official language in the General Assembly.
