Role of the United Nations

Forum for Dialogue
The UN provides a platform for 
countries to discuss problems 
and find collaborative solutions. 
Unlike national governments, it 
does not make laws or collect 
taxes, but rather facilitates 
international cooperation.

Inclusive Membership
Any country that wants peace 
and supports the goals of the 
UN Charter can become a 
member of this organization, 
making it a truly global 
institution representing diverse 
perspectives.
3
Future-Focused Mission
The main goal of the United Nations is to make the world safer for people 
today and for future generations, addressing both immediate crises and 
long-term global challenges.
