For over 75 years, the UN has led global efforts to tackle pressing challenges and inspire a brighter future. Today, visitors are invited to delve into the organization's rich history, celebrate its accomplishments, and envision a future fueled by collaboration and transformative change.
The History: Building a Foundation for Peace and Cooperation
Founded in 1945 after World War II, the United Nations was created from a shared desire to prevent future conflicts and foster international cooperation. With 51 founding member states, the UN dedicated itself to maintaining global peace, fostering friendly relations among nations and promoting social progress, living standards, and human rights. Since its inception, the UN has been a beacon of hope, working tirelessly to prevent conflicts, aid post-war recovery, and uphold human dignity, equality, and justice. Over the years, its role has expanded to address diverse global issues, including poverty, hunger, climate change, and gender equality.

Building a Better Future Together
Through global partnerships, the UN is committed to creating a world where young people are active participants and leaders in shaping change. Engaging youth in health, education, environmental protection, human rights, and innovation ensures the next generation is ready to lead toward a more just, sustainable, and prosperous world.
Global Partnerships for a Better World
The UN strives to build a world where individuals of all ages can thrive, supported by a vast network of specialized agencies, funds, and programs addressing health, education, the environment, and human rights. In collaboration with governments, civil society, the private sector, and youth, these efforts enhance the UN's capacity to meet complex global challenges and envision a brighter future.
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): A Global Call to Action
The SDGs, adopted in 2015 by all 193 member states, offer a comprehensive plan to address global challenges by 2030. Covering issues from ending poverty and hunger to combating climate change, the 17 goals aim for a sustainable future, emphasizing a balanced approach to social, economic, and environmental sustainability. This initiative calls for collective action and partnerships, serving as a universal appeal to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure global peace and prosperity, fostering a fairer, more inclusive world for future generations.
