In 1943, the United Nations created a relief organization called the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA). This organization was used to fight famine and disease that was occurring in Europe after World War II. The UNRRA focused on bringing relief to European civilians, and it was rendered unwelcome and disbanded after the Europe divided into two zones: the West and East. However in 1946, there was a large demand for a relief organization, and so the United Nations decided to constitute an emergency group focusing on aid for children.
UNICEF was created in 1946 to provide emergency food, clothing and healthcare to children in countries that were destroyed during WWII. It was created to solve the food and medical crisis after the War in the European countries involved and those that were devastated in the War. Eglantyne Jebb, a British reformist, founded the Save the Children International Union, SCIU, which pressured the United Nations to start a group that specifically worked with children suffering from the trauma and aftermath of war. Also, U.S. army filmmakers created a film that shows the amount of destruction war does and how much it affects children. This film raised $200 million for welfare work, and so the UN proposed to use this money to provide relief to children in a new organization called UNICEF. So, the Collective Action problem it intended to solve was that: After WWII, UNICEF was created to provide food, clothing, and medical aid
The United Nations is an organization established 24 October 1945. It was a replacement for the League of Nations. The UN was created following the Second World War to prevent another such conflict. The organization is financed by giving its member states a substantial fee. Its objectives include maintaining international peace and security, promoting human rights, fostering social and economic development, protecting the environment, and providing humanitarian aid in cases of famine, natural disaster, and armed conflict.

Politically, the United States government did almost everything it could have done to make the world and the country a better place after World War Two. In order to prevent wars and make the world a safer place, the country wanted to establish an international organization that would help achieve this goal, similar to the Wilson’s proposed League of Nations, except this time, the organization had full support and funding of the United States. The organization was formed in 1945, and it was called the United Nations. Not only did the United Nations
“Jaw-jaw is always better than to war-war. “— Winston Churchill, and that’s what the United Nations purpose is. The United Nations is an organization created after World War 2 on October 24, 1945. Throughout the years United Nations has grown there are currently with 193 countries involved. They provide security, aid and peace to many countries in the world.
The United Nations is a vessel to keep the peace, they work to prevent conflicts, step in and help parties in conflict to make peace; peacekeeping; and creating the conditions to allow peace. The UN security council has the primary responsibility for the aforementioned. They are the division of the UN that is responsible for maintaining international peace and security.

The United Nations along with the security council was formed in 1945, leaders of 50 nations met in San Francisco with representatives of non-government organizations. It took place at the end of the second world war to prevent that type of widespread destruction, they formed the United Nations.
The United Nations was also then formed to promote international cooperation. It was a replacement for the League of Nations, which was ineffective.
The world that we currently live in was once torn apart by major wars and the great depression. America is one of the greatest nations and is often viewed as the world security, but the world is too vast for one country to protect all of humanity. Over 70 years ago after WWII ended and the United Nations was created on October 24, 1945, when the U.S. Senate voted 65 to 7 to approve U.S. participation in the UN. The United Nations by many is considered to be the vision of President Franklin Roosevelt who saw the UN as being the centerpiece on the global stage to mediate disputes between countries and stop another global war from happening.

When I think of having to take refuge my mind goes to finding shelter during a rainstorm not fleeing my country because of political strife or human rights violations. Interning at World Relief has opened my eyes to real refuge, the type you need when you are in actual harms way. Most recently I met a Burmese family who came to the United States because of the political crisis going on in Myanmar. While roaming around the apartment complex that houses most World Relief Refugees, I ran into two 15 year old girls who were open to me talking to there family. When I got to the apartment there were seven total kids and their two moms who were home watching them. I was able to sit down and speak to one of the moms who was caring for her nineteen
“ Here is a task truly of, by and for the world, one that should rally nations. The nature of this task however, must be clearly understood; only then can suitable means for accomplishing it be formulated, only then can the role that the United Nations could and should play be appreciated” ( Wilcox/Haviland, 29). There are many international organizations that have been talked about throughout this semester. One of the most important ones is The United Nations. The United Nations was established October 24, 1945, and has since then been impacting the country. The United Nations main purpose according to the lecture notes is “ to provide a global additional structure through which states can sometimes settle conflicts with less reliance on the use of force , for whole purpose of the United Nations is to provide the globe a forum by which countries may settle disputes through this forum peacefully as opposed to relying on a force which has been the case historically” ( Kopalyan, Module 8). Thus meaning The United Nations was set up to handle problems peacefully rather than going to war to try and solve problems. “Powerful economic as well as political forces are at work to bring about a growing integration of the world community, and the United Nations and its related agencies are uniquely fitted to assist in the task” (Wilcox/Haviland,45). This was some of the reason that the United Nations was created.
Following the second of the World Wars, the League of Nations was replaced by the modern United Nations. This organization's aims were similar to their predecessor's, to maintain harmony through settling border disputes and to offer humanitarian aid wherever necessary, but the UN's charter states further that tolerance and equality is necessary in peace:
