🌐 The Organization of the United Nations (ONU) is the most important global institution created in 1945 after World War II to prevent a third world war and promote peace.

📅 The ONU has been working towards achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the Agenda 2030, which aim to address global issues such as poverty, hunger, and inequality.
