The United Nations is a global organization that brings together its member states to confront common challenges, manage shared responsibilities and exercise guidance. The UN acts as a forum for members to express views in various bodies and committees. By enabling dialogue between its members, and by hosting negotiations, the Organization has become a mechanism for governments to find areas of agreement and solve problems together.
