Read the text carefully then do the activities.

On October 24, 1945, representatives
of fifty-one nations met to form an association called the United Nations
Organisation. The two main aims of the UNO are the maintenance of international
peace and security and the promotion f human welfare throughout the world.
Since then, the Organisation has survived with difficulty. It has faced a
series of international disputes that could have involved the world in a
nuclear war. The successful handling of these disputes has proved that UNO can
help in the maintenance of world peace.

If UNO had failed to settle them, the
world might by now have been involved in a global war and completely destroyed.
If it continues to settle disputes peacefully, the fear of a world –wide war
will disappear. If it fails, there may be no further hope for mankind.
