United Nations Research Paper

United Nations was founded after the WWII by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Its main goal was to maintain peace and never let a war start again. 51 countries

committed to this goal. United Nations also aids the world by addressing issues such as

climate change, atomic energy, food, etc. The efforts put forth by the United Nations has

earned them awards such as Peabody Award, Nobel Peace Prize, and Academy Award

for Best Documentary Short Subject.

One of the important issues the United Nations addresses is population. In the

1950s the world population stood at 2.6 billion. It then increased to 5 billion in 1987 and

then increased to 6billion in 1999. Today the world population stands at 7 billion. The

growth of population is mostly caused by people surviving to the reproductive state in

their life. India and China are the most populated. The United Nations has been working

on this issue for a while. The Population has been gathering about international

migration and development, urbanization, world population and polices, and marriage

statistics. The United Nations is currently working with many other countries around the

world to create population polices. The United Nation population fund started in 1969 to

promote population programs.

 The United Stations was founded at about the same time as the nuclear age. The

dangers of nuclear were made clear by the events Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This

caused the United Nations to address the large issues over atomic energy. The United

Nations founded the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The IAEA works with

other countries to promote the safe uses of nuclear energy. The United Nations has put

together very important rules and regulations over the use of atomic energy.

The United Nation does many things to help and maintain peace. Since it was

founded the United Nations has address more than 100 issues from keeping food prices

low to stopping war. The United Nation along with its five key parts is responsible for the

great lives people enjoy.
