PART 2: READING COMPREHENSION

The United Nations (UN), international organization of countries created to promote world peace
and cooperation. The UN was founded after World War II ended in 1945. Its mission is to
maintain world peace, develop good relations between countries, promote cooperation in solving
the world’s problems, and encourage respect for human rights.
The UN is an organization of countries that agree to cooperate with one another. It brings
together countries that are rich and poor, large and small, and have different social and political
Systems. Member nations pledge to settle their disputes peacefully, to refrain from using force or
the threat of force against other countries, and to refuse help to any country that opposes UN
actions.
UN membership is open to any country willing to further the UN mission and abide by its rules.
Each country, no matter how large or small, has an equal voice and vote. Each country is also
expected to pay dues to support the UN. As of 2004 the UN had 191 members, including nearly
every country in the world.
The UN’s influence in world affairs has fluctuated over the years, but the organization gained
