Part One: Introduction
The United Nations Organisation was formed after the Second World War as an international “global village” with the aim of promoting international peace, security and harmonious cooperation of all member nations in matters of social, political and economic affairs. Considering the antecedents before its formation such as the trauma of the 2nd world war, the aftermath of colonialism, the ensued lack of peace, loss of rights and perceived inequality among states, there was the urgent need by the comity of nations, spearheaded by few industrialized nations, still relishing these ugly experiences, to rise above these enclaves for a better harmonious world based on equity and fairness.
