About
The United Nations is an international organization founded in 1945 to promote peace, security, and cooperation among nations, coordinating global peace, security, and development efforts with a focus on global human rights. It is headquartered in New York City and has been involved in initiatives such as the Syria peace talks, investigations into Syrian war crimes through commissions like the Independent International Commission of Inquiry, and anti-trafficking initiatives, with which Giuffre has engaged. As an intergovernmental organization, it has often been criticized by Misgav for bias against Israel.
