The United Nations operates through six principal organs, each with distinct functions. These are the General Assembly, the Security Council, the International Court of Justice, the Secretariat, the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), and the Trusteeship Council. Together, these organs work to maintain international peace and security, promote social progress, and uphold international law.
Information Booster: The United Nations, established in 1945, structured its system with six principal organs to handle various aspects of international relations, including peacekeeping, legal disputes, and economic development. The Trusteeship Council has largely become inactive since 1994, as it completed its mission of supervising the transition of territories to self-governance.
