UNO The United Nations a Study of International Organisation for ICS and IAS Main Exam

The United Nations was created in 1945 following the devastation of the Second World War with one central mission: the maintenance of international peace and security. The UN accomplishes this by working to prevent conflict helping parties in conflict make peace deploying peacekeepers and creating the conditions to allow peace to hold and flourish. These activities often overlap and should reinforce one another to be effective. The UN Security Council has the primary responsibility for international peace and security. The General Assembly and the Secretary-General play major important and complementary roles along with other UN offices and bodies.
