United Nations celebrates 80 years of its establishment:
As the United Nations celebrates 80 years of its establishment (1945–2025), it reflects on its evolution from a post-World War II peacekeeping body to a global institution addressing 21st-century challenges.Emerging from the ashes of World War II, the UN was envisioned as a collective security mechanism to prevent future conflicts, promote human rights, and uphold international law.Established on 24 October 1945 with 51 founding members, the UN’s framework especially the Security Council (UNSC) was shaped by post-war power hierarchies granting veto powers to five permanent members (P5).
