Why do we need organisations like the UN?

• United Nation was formed post world war 2 with the intention of eliminating wars. In a war there are no winners as lives are always lost. It intends to provide a platform to countries across the world to discuss issues of concern rather than declaring war.

• UN also consists of several other bodies apart from the General Assembly that aims at resolving different issues such as trade disputes, environmental degradation issues, human rights violations and many more.

• It acts an over-seer of activities of the countries to ensure that no country establishes dominance over the other.

• It acts as a ground for dispute settlement where issues of mutual concerns can be raised and debated on instead of directly imposing sanctions on rivalling countries.
