A compact yet comprehensive handbook, Basic Facts about the United Nations sets forth the structure of the United Nations, how it works and its main activities and driving concerns. Along with explaining the role played by the UN principal organs and the family of UN Organizations, Basic Facts - published since 1947 - explores UN contributions to international peace and security, economic and social development, human rights, humanitarian action, international law and decolonization. It also documents UN membership, peacekeeping operations and special observances, along with contact information for UN information centres. This new edition has been substantially revised to take account of many significant recent developments in the world and within the United Nations itself.
