The United Nations was officially created in the post-Second World War, in 1945, on October 24, through the founding document known as the Charter of the United Nations.
The motivation for its creation is related to the international conflicts that destroyed several territories and victimized thousands of people, thus bringing to light the need to seek peace between nations.
