The United Nations is an international organization founded in 1945 with the aim of maintaining international peace and security, developing friendly relations among nations, achieving international cooperation in solving global problems, and promoting respect for human rights. Its principal organs include the General Assembly, the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, the International Court of Justice, and the Secretariat, headed by the UN Secretary-General. The organization's headquarters is located in New York, with regional and country offices operating around the world, including the United Nations office in Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan has been a member of the United Nations since its admission in 1992 and maintains an active partnership with the organization across multiple areas of cooperation.
