(membership within the United Nations system divides the 206 listed states into three categories: 193 member states, two observer states, and 11 “other states”)
(the sovereignty dispute column indicates states whose sovereignty is undisputed (190 states) and states whose sovereignty is disputed (16 states))
(compiling a list such as this can be a difficult and controversial process, as there is no definition that is binding on all the members of the community of nations concerning the criteria for “statehood”)
(for more information on the criteria used to determine the contents of this list, please see the criteria for inclusion section below)
(the list is intended to include entities that have been recognized to have de facto status as sovereign states, and inclusion should not be seen as an endorsement of any specific claim to statehood in ‘legal terms’)
(the United Nations (UN) is an intergovernmental organization to promote international co-operation)
(a replacement for the ineffective ‘League of Nations’, the organization was established on ’24 October 1945′ after World War II in order to prevent another such conflict)
(at its founding, the UN had 51 member states; there are now 193)
(the headquarters of the ‘United Nations’ is in ‘Manhattan’, ‘New York City’, and experiences extraterritoriality)
(further main offices are situated in ‘Geneva’, ‘Nairobi’, and ‘Vienna’)
(the organization is financed by assessed and voluntary contributions from its member states)
(its objectives include maintaining international peace and security, promoting human rights, fostering social and economic development, protecting the environment, and providing humanitarian aid in cases of famine, natural disaster, and ‘armed conflict’)
(the ‘United Nations Charter’ was drafted at a conference in April–June 1945; this charter took effect ’24 October 1945′, and the UN began operation)
(the UN’s mission to preserve world peace was complicated in its early decades by the cold war between the US and soviet union and their respective allies)
(the organization participated in major actions in Korea and the Congo, as well as approving the creation of the state of israel in 1947)
(the organization’s membership grew significantly following widespread decolonization in the 1960s, and by the 1970s its budget for economic and social development programmes far outstripped its spending on peacekeeping)
(after the end of the Cold War, the UN took on major military and peacekeeping missions across the world with varying degrees of success)
(the ‘UN’ has 6 principal organs: the ‘General Assembly’ (the main deliberative assembly); the Security Council (for deciding certain resolutions for peace and security); the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) (for promoting international economic and social co-operation and development); the Secretariat (for providing studies, information, and facilities needed by the UN); the International Court of Justice (the primary judicial organ); and the ‘United Nations Trusteeship Council’ (inactive since 1994))
(UN System agencies include the ‘World Bank Group’, the World Health Organization, the World Food Programme, UNESCO, and ‘UNICEF’)
(non-governmental organizations may be granted consultative status with ECOSOC and other agencies to participate in the UN’s work)
(the organization won the ‘nobel peace prize’ in 2001, and a number of its officers and agencies have also been awarded the prize)
(other evaluations of the UN’s effectiveness have been mixed)
(some commentators believe the organization to be an important force for ‘peace’ and ‘human development’, while others have called the organization ‘ineffective’, ‘corrupt’, or ‘biased’)
