About the United Nations

Founded on Peace

The United Nations officially began on 24 October 1945, after its Charter was ratified by China, France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, and a majority of other signatories — four months after the San Francisco Conference ended.

Now, more than 75 years later, the United Nations continues to maintain international peace and security, provide humanitarian assistance, protect human rights, and uphold international law — with 193 member states representing the vast majority of the world's sovereign states.

This Portal's Purpose

This portal was created solely for the men and women fighting to keep citizens of various countries safe. The United Nations is committed to ensuring that our troops return home to their families and loved ones.

We provide retirement and vacation application processing, benefit claim assistance, fraud compensation claims, and comprehensive information about retirement and vacation policies for UN personnel and their families.

Six Principal Organs

The UN has six principal organs: the General Assembly, the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, the Trusteeship Council, the International Court of Justice, and the UN Secretariat. The UN System also includes specialized agencies such as the World Bank Group, WHO, World Food Programme, UNESCO, and UNICEF.
