Officially existed in October 24, 1945, however used by president Franklin Roosevelt during the WWI, to fend off the Axis Powers, replaced League of Nations.  __**Organization**__ Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish are the official languages of the U.N. [|__cunr.org__] : The U.N called to resolve disputes but countries can ignore rulings from the U.N. Its headquarters are localed in Manhattan, New York and there are 192 member states at each present time. The U.N. has five different sub committees: The General Assembly, The Security Council, The Economic and Social council, the Secretariat, and the International Court of justice. Each committee serves a different purpose in the U.N, functioning separately and also together to help create a stable and supportive international environment. Meetings are at regular intervals to discuss world events and meeting are in environment when necessary. The U.N. is called to help negotiate relationships between countries when countries cannot do it themselves.
