Founded in 1945 in the aftermath of World War II, the United Nations remains the world's foremost international organization — and one of its most debated. Its missions span peacekeeping, human rights, humanitarian aid, climate action, and sustainable development. Yet its structure, its limitations, and its real influence are rarely well understood.
This book by Jean-Jacques Chevron offers a clear, rigorous, and accessible overview of the UN: why it was created, how it is organized, what its main bodies do — the General Assembly, the Security Council, the Secretariat — and what challenges it faces today. It also examines the role of specialized agencies such as UNESCO, UNICEF, and the WHO.
Translated into English by Elisabeth Belchamber, it is part of the Les Collections du Citoyen series published by NANE Éditions.
