The United Nations (UN) is an international organization. Established in 1945 after the Second World War, its ambition is to create peace around the world. It was preceded by a similar organization, the League of Nations, which was active between 1920 and 1945, to work for peace after the First World War.
Its headquarters are located inside a skyscraper in Turtle Bay, a neighborhood of the New York City borough of Manhattan.
