Even before World War Ⅱ ended in 1945,many world leaders dreamed of a new organization that would keep international peace and safety,and encourage international cooperation(合作).An organization was formed.The United Nations was to work to this ideal of mankind.

When the UN was founded in 1945,it was made up of fifty members.Fifteen members sat on the Security Council(安理会).Five members—the United States,the Soviet Union,Great Britain,France and China—were given,not changing membership on the Council.The Council was given the power to settle fights among nations by persuasion,mediation(调解) or other means.A General Assembly(联合国大会),which included every UN member,was also set up.The Assembly could consider,discuss,and pass resolutions(决议案).
