The United Nations was created from the aftermath of a previously destroyed organization created to prevent nations going to war yet did not prevent World War 1. The United Nations took on many different challenges creating many branches. The branches are branched out from the General Assembly. The first is The Security Council which is the United Nations '' organ responsible for maintaining world peace and security'' (quoted from the book). Next is The Trusteeship Council which looks for territories that were early settlements, rebellion people in distress, or colonies that do not have a self-government. Where The Trusteeship Council would help those people toward that goal of a self ran government. The International Court of Justice can advise the U.N. on the issues of international law and can rule provisions of such laws. The Secretariat is a staff of 14,000 people or more to help with basic help and necessities of everyday work in the U.N. fellow branches. The Economic and Social Council operates under control of The General Assembly. They help set up the programs that The General Assembly votes upon.
Yet an interesting read for me, it would not be the same for you Mr. Poppe. To which my assumption is that you are at a significant higher reading level then me where you would grow bored. Unless you are looking for a quick read to receive some quick basic knowledge of the U.N. So in some cases this would be a recommendation.
