United Nations (Alternity)



The United Nations (abbreviated UN) is an international organization that facilitates cooperation in international law, politics, and security, economic development, social progress, and human rights. The UN's ultimate goal is to one day achieve world peace, though in the current political climate, that will likely be sometime in the indeterminate future of the upcoming 21st century. All 113 internationally recognized sovereign nations on the planet are member states of the UN, with the exception of Vatican City.
