Understanding the United Nations Structure
The United Nations is an intergovernmental organization founded in 1945 to maintain international peace, security and cooperation. Its structure divides into six principal organs: the General Assembly, Security Council, Economic and Social Council, Trusteeship Council, International Court of Justice and the Secretariat. Many specialized agencies, such as UNESCO, WHO and UNICEF, work on specific issues under the wider system.
- General Assembly: all member states, one vote each
- Security Council: five permanent members with veto power
- ECOSOC: coordinates economic and social work
- ICJ: settles disputes between states under international law
Use a map like this to revise how the organs relate and which agency handles which issue. CogniGuide can build a personalized United Nations map from your own notes in moments.
