United Nations Organisation (UNO)
The United Nations Organization (UN) was founded on 24 October 1945 by 51 countries determined to preserve peace through international cooperation and collective security. With 193 states, almost all countries in the world are members of the UN today, including Switzerland since 2002. The organisation has a unique universality with regard to the subjects which it tackles, its members, its involvement in decision-making processes, its role in the drafting of international norms and standards and its international influence.
