The United Nations Organization (U.N.O) was founded on April 1945. After the Second World War all the nations of the world felt that there should be such an organization that prevent the whole world from these types of conflicts and bring peace among all the nations of the world and work for the welfare and prosperity of the nations of the world.
The capital of this organization is in Manhattan, New York city (America). And all that problems and reciprocal political quarrels that can be the cause of war in the world, are exhibited in front of U.N.O. To some extent this organization has got success, in this ambition. It has solved the issues like the “Suez crisis” or “The Congo conflicts” and has quite been successful in preventing wars.
But it couldn’t absolutely finish the war. As the problems like Kashmir and Palestine are still pending, so it has failed in bringing about perfect peace in the world. The other field where this organization (U.N.O) has been succeeded is in removing social evils. It has also an another department that helps financially underdeveloped and residual countries.
