Exercise 1: Read and translate the text
The United Nations, or UN, is an international organization established in 1945 and now made up of 192 states.
UN membership is open to all "peace-loving states" that accept the obligations of the UN Charter and are able to fulfill these obligations. The General Assembly determines admission upon recommendation of the Security Council.
The United Nations System is based on six principal organs: 1) UN General Assembly; 2) UN Security Council; 3) UN Economic and Social Council; 4) UN Trusteeship Council; 5) UN Secretariat; 6) International Court of Justice.
The UN came into existence on October 24, 1945, after the Charter had been ratified by the five members of the Security Council — Republic of China, France, the Soviet Union, United Kingdom, and the United States — and by a majority of the other 46 signatories.
The United Nations headquarters building was constructed in New York City in 1949 and designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer. UN headquarters officially opened on January 9, 1951. While the principal headquarters of the UN are in New York, there are major agencies located in Geneva, the Hague, Vienna, and elsewhere.
UN peacekeepers are sent to various regions where armed conflict has recently stopped, in order to enforce the terms of peace agreements. All UN peacekeeping operations must be approved by the Security Council.
In conjunction with other organizations, such as the Red Cross, the UN provides food, drinking water, shelter and other humanitarian services to people who suffer from famine, war, or some other disaster.
The six official languages of the United Nations include those of the founding nations: Chinese, English, French, Russian as well as Spanish. In addition, Arabic was added in 1982. Additionally, all official documents, in print or online, are translated in all six languages.
