In 1945 leaders from 51 countries met in San Francisco, California and organized the United Nations (often called the UN , :World War II had just ended. Millions of people had died, and there was destruction everywhere.
People hoped they could build a future of world peace through this new organization.
The United Nations has four main goals and purposes.

2. To develop friendly relations among nations;
3. To work together for human rights for everyone of all races, religions, languages, and of both sexes; and
4. To build a centre where nations can work together for these goals. Today, almost every country in the world is a member of the UN. Each country has signed an agreement that says:
