With 15 judges elected for 9 years, the International Court of justice can settle international disputes and try anyone accused of serious crimes against humanity such as genocide. The Secretariat headed by the Secretary General appointed by the General Assembly for 5 years is the chief administrative body. Its functions include daily administration, communication to UN members, organization of meetings and conferences, keeping or records and publication of reports on important world issues. There are over sixty thousand UN staffs worldwide. The United Nations is the largest international organization of the world. The organization is so important because it establishes communications between governments and promotes cooperation needed to tackle world problems such as diseases, violence, poverty and natural disasters. Many UN agencies and programmes are run in various areas to support the poorer countries and weaker people. Through their efforts many epidemics have been controlled and vulnerable groups of people such as women, children, and refugees have been protected and supported. UNO encourages and assists the constitutional reformations and good governance round the globe. UN peacekeeping forces set up in 1978 are mobilized in the countries in conflict in order to help establish permanent peace.

The United Nations Mission in Nepal (UNMIN) assisted the overall peace process of the country such as concluding the Comprehensive Peace Accord, management of Maoist armies and weapons and the drafting of a new constitution through an elected constituent assembly.
