What is the full form of UNO

UNO: United Nations Organization

UNO stands for United Nations Organization. It is an international organization, which was established in 1945 after seeing the consequences of World War II. After this war, 51 countries came forward with a common goal to maintain international peace and security and agreed to sign a document, which was a charter to create a new organization by the name of the United Nations. Its main objective was to develop friendly relations among nations and promote social progress, living standards, and human rights.

UNO has six official languages, which include Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish. At present, it comprises 193 Member States, and its principals and objectives are contained in its founding Charter.

The major focus of UNO is in the following areas:

• International peace and security
• Humanitarian assistance to those in need
• Upholding international law, protecting human rights, and promoting democracy

At present, the member states are working together to fight climate change. Furthermore, owing to its international character and powers vested in its Charter, this organization can take action against the issues which are a threat to or may disturb the peace, development, and social growth.
