The United Nations (Common Spelling in West Bengal: Commonwealth) is an organization of nations of the world, whose goal is to create an environment of mutual cooperation in the international arena on law, security, economic development, social progress and human rights.
Origin:In 1939, under the auspices of the US State Department, the New World Organization's first concrete plan to replace the dysfunctional United Nations (League of Nations) began. Representatives of the exiled governments of Greece, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland and Yugoslavia, as well as a representative of General Charles GOP of France, met in London and signed the Declaration of St. James's Palace. It was the first of six conventions to establish the United Nations and the Charter of the United Nations.
In December 1941, during a three-week visit to the White House, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was advised by US President Franklin Roosevelt to use the first United Nations name to refer to the Allies of World War II. Roosevelt suggested the name as an alternative to the "Associated Powers", used by the United States during World War I (the United States was never a member of the Allies in World War I, but entered the war in 1971 as a self-proclaimed "allied power"). Churchill embraced the idea and quoted Lord Byron's use of the word "United Nations" in his poem Child Harold's Pilgrimage, referring to the Allies at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.
Plan:US President Franklin D. Roosevelt considered the founding of the United Nations as his most important legacy, creating a permanent organization of the same name from outside the wartime alliance. He was the main propagandist of the UN concept. The first plans for a future international organization were published in the declarations signed at the Wartime Allies: at the Moscow Conference on 30 October 1943 and at the Tehran Conference.
Establishment:On April 24, 1945, the United Nations Conference on International Organizations began in San Francisco. In addition to governments, several non-governmental organizations, including Rotary International and Lions Clubs International, were invited to assist in drafting a charter. After two months of work, the fifty states represented at the conference signed the UN Charter on 26 June. Poland, unable to send a delegate to the conference due to political instability, signed the Charter on 15 October 1945. The charter states that before it can take effect, it must be ratified by the governments of the People's Republic of China, France, the USSR, the United Kingdom and the United States, and by a majority of 48 signatories.
The first meeting of the General Assembly was held on 10 January 1948 at Central Hall in Westminster, London. The Security Council met for the first time a week later at a church house in Westminster. On 18 April 1948, the League of Nations formally dissolved itself and transferred its purpose to the United Nations.
