Course summary (United Nations):
International Monetary Fund, World Bank and 12 other independent organizations known as specialized agencies are linked to the UN through cooperative agreements
United Nations. The United Nations was
established on 24 October 1945 by 51 countries committed to preserving peace
through international cooperation and collective security. Today, nearly every
nation in the world belongs to the UN: membership totals 191 countries. Specialized agencies - United Nations.
The United Nations has six main organs. Five of them — the General Assembly, the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, the Trusteeship Council
and the Secretariat — are based at UN Headquarters in New York. The sixth, the
International Court of Justice, is located at The Hague in the Netherlands.
The Economic and Social Council, under the overall authority of the
General Assembly, coordinates the economic and social work of the United Nations
and the UN family of organizations. As the central forum for discussing
international economic and social issues and for formulating policy
recommendations, the Council plays a key role in fostering international
cooperation for development.
Example of the course (United Nations):
The UN system
The International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and 12 other independent
organizations known as "specialized agencies" are linked to the UN through
cooperative agreements. These agencies, among them the World Health Organization
and the international Civil Aviation Organization, are autonomous bodies created
by intergovernmental agreement. They have wide-ranging international
responsibilities in the economic, social, cultural, educational, health and
related fields. Some of them, like the international Labour Organization and the
Universal Postal Union, are older than the UN itself.
In addition, a number of UN offices, programmes and funds — such as the Office
of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the UN Development Programme
(UNDP) and the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) — work to improve the economic and
social condition of people around the world. They report to the General Assembly
or the Economic and Social Council.
All these organizations have their own governing bodies, budgets and
secretariats. Together with the United Nations, they are known as the UN family, or the UN system. Together, they provide technical assistance and other forms of practical help in virtually all economic and social areas.
