United Nations Organizational Structure

A Mind Map of the United Nations Organization

Many people do not realize just how large the United Nations is, how much it effects, or who exactly is involved in running this organization. There is a general misconception about what it is and what it isn't. In order to gain further understanding, let's break this world government down. This is going to be important to know in understanding corporate capture and the entities who hold global influence.

The United Nations has 6 main bodies of government:

• The General Assembly (UNGA)

• The Security Council (UNSC)

• The Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC)

• The Secretariat

• The Trusteeship Council

• The International Court of Justice

The United Nations General Assembly

The United Nations General Assembly "is the main policy-making organ of the Organization. Comprising all Member States, it provides a unique forum for multilateral discussion of the full spectrum of international issues covered by the Charter of the United Nations. Each of the 193 Member States of the United Nations has an equal vote." Just like any governing body, the United Nations has a president called the United Nations Security-General, who serves a one year term.

There are 6 main committees under the United Nations General Assembly. These include:

• Disarmament and International Security (DISEC)
  The First Committee deals with disarmament and international security. This includes both nuclear weapons and conventional weapons.

• Economic and Financial (ECOFIN)
  The Second Committee addresses increasing globalization, increasing interdependence, the eradication of poverty, agricultural development, macroeconomic policies, and sustainable urban development.

• Social, Cultural, and Humanitarian (SOCHUM)
  The Third Committee addresses human rights issues, the advancement of women, the protection of children, and the treatment of refugees, as well as racism and discrimination.

• Special Political and Decolonization (SPECPOL)
  The Fourth Committee deals with UN Peacekeeping missions, uses of outer space, decolonization of non-self governing territories (such as the British Virgin Islands), and issues revolving around the Middle East, Israel, and Palestine.

• Administrative and Budgetary
  The Fifth Committee addresses budgetary issues within the United Nations.

• Legal
  The Sixth Committee deals with legal matters and international law, which include accountability, drug control, crime prevention, and international terrorism. Part of this concerns "the application of universal justice."

The list of funds and programs under the General Assembly include:

• United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)

• United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF)

• United Nations Volunteers (UNV)

• United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)

• United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)

• United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT)

• United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF)

• World Food Programme (WFP)

Also included in this are various other organizations including:

• Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO)

• International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)

• International Criminal Court (ICC)

• International Organization for Migration (IOM)

• International Seabed Authority (ISA)

• International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS)

• Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW)

• World Trade Organization (WTO)

United Nations Security Council

As per the United Nations website:

The Security Council has primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. It has 15 Members, and each Member has one vote. Under the Charter of the United Nations, all Member States are obligated to comply with Council decisions.

The Security Council takes the lead in determining the existence of a threat to the peace or act of aggression. It calls upon the parties to a dispute to settle it by peaceful means and recommends methods of adjustment or terms of settlement. In some cases, the Security Council can resort to imposing sanctions or even authorize the use of force to maintain or restore international peace and security.

The United Nations leads and the whole world is obligated to follow... even when that means going to war.

What isn't mentioned here is that there are 5 permanent members on the United Nations Security Council. These 5 members have the power to veto any resolution made within this council. Resolutions are "typically enforced by UN peacekeepers, which consist of military forces voluntarily provided by member states." Those 5 permanent members are:

• China

• France

• United Kingdom

• United States

• USSR (Russia)

United Nations Economic and Social Council

The Economic and Social Council is at the heart of the United Nations system to advance the three dimensions of sustainable development – economic, social and environmental. It is the central platform for fostering debate and innovative thinking, forging consensus on ways forward, and coordinating efforts to achieve internationally agreed goals.

United Nations Economic and Social Council: About Us

What are the three things are that someone would need to have power over in order to control and subjugate a nation and suppress its people?

United Nations Secretariat

The United Nations Secretariat carries out the day-to-day work of the UN as mandated by the General Assembly and the Organization's other main organs. The Secretary-General is the head of the Secretariat, which has tens of thousands of UN staff members working at duty stations all over the world. UN staff members are recruited internationally and locally, and work in duty stations and on peacekeeping missions. Serving the cause of peace in a violent world is a dangerous occupation. Since the founding of the United Nations, hundreds of brave men and women have given their lives in its service.

United Nations: Secretariat

One thing people may not realize is that the United Nations has no military or army of its own. So, where do their peacekeeping troops come from?

NOTE: If you are unfamiliar with how a nation or governing body can exist without having its own army, I will divert your attention to another substack regarding PrussiaGate at the end of this article.

As Comte de Mirabeau quoted: “Prussia is not a nation with an army, but an army that controls nations.” Prussia was never anything other than an ideology of War against all that it could not control. From the lands the Teutonic Knights had tamed, Prussia used shrewd methods of diplomatic espionage, carried out by its ambassadors and industrialists. Prussia sought to destroy everything it could not control via campaigns of “comply or die”.

Trusteeship Council

The main goals of the International Trusteeship System were to promote the advancement of the inhabitants of Trust Territories and their progressive development towards self-government or independence. The Trusteeship Council is made up of the five permanent members of the Security Council -- China, France, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States. The aims of the Trusteeship System have been fulfilled to the extent that all Trust Territories have attained self-government or independence, either as separate States or by joining neighboring independent countries.

International Court of Justice

The International Court of Justice is also known as the World Court and is located in the Hague, Netherlands. Per the UN Charter:

Article 93

All Members of the United Nations are ipso facto parties to the Statute of the International Court of Justice.

A state which is not a Member of the United Nations may become a party to the Statute of the International Court of Justice on conditions to be determined in each case by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council.

Article 94

Each Member of the United Nations undertakes to comply with the decision of the International Court of Justice in any case to which it is a party.

If any party to a case fails to perform the obligations incumbent upon it under a judgment rendered by the Court, the other party may have recourse to the Security Council, which may, if it deems necessary, make recommendations or decide upon measures to be taken to give effect to the judgment.
