The United Nations

Have you ever thought about something like a world meeting, and where it is held?  Well the name of this thing is called the United Nations and was started after World War II.  The U.N. has done many important things over the years. The U.N. is still affecting the world today. The United Nations is an important organization that influences countries around the world and strives for world peace.

 The founder of the U.N. was Franklin Roosevelt.  The original name was the Declaration of United Nations, and the day it was founded was January 1, 1942.  The main countries ‘chartered’ are the U.K., China, Russia, France, and The United States. . The Security Council is the seats that the U.N. focuses on. There are five permanent spots are The United States, The United Kingdom, China, Russia, and France.  The first meeting was held in San Francisco. The day was on October 24 and now that day is U.N. day ‘the day of peace

 Important things that the U.N. has done are promoting Human rights, create international laws, and promote women’s rights and protecting the o-zone layer.  All of these things are protecting the world and how people live every day.  Something like protecting the o-zone layer is very important to the world and our health.

             The United Nations today makes war rules.  Also, they are trying to keep peace.  An example is the U.N. is dealing with the Libya problem.  The Libya problem has to do with the army bombing their own people.  The U.N. is also fighting against landmines. There is a big chair in front of the U.N. in Geneva with a missing leg that represents their protest.

           In conclusion, The U.N. is a very important organization to the world.  It makes peace and also keeps war from happening. If the United Nations didn’t exist there would be more fighting and problems around the world.   From my perspective, if we didn’t have the United Nations we would be having a lot of world problems.  It is a very critical organization to the world.  The founders would be very proud of what the U.N. is today.

PS.  We did a guided tour of the UN this week and have lots of pictures, but we are having trouble with the computer, so they will have to wait.
