In 1945, nations were in ruins. World war II was over and the world wanted peace.

70 years later, the United Nations is maintaining international peace and security.
It is promoting  development and giving humanitarian assistance to those in need.

And now, its Member States are working together to fight climate change.
The UN is helping  build the  better world its founders envisioned 70 years ago.
