What is the United Nations? The United Nations was established on October 24, 1945 with 51 member states (nations). Today, there are 190 member states. The primary purpose of the United Nations, as set out in its charter, is to maintain international peace and security, develop friendly relations among nations, based on respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, and to be a center for harmonizing the actions of nations in attaining these common goals.
