Build the idea

Build exam-ready understanding by connecting the core idea, formulas or facts, worked example and previous NDA questions. Focus on why each rule works, then test it under timed conditions.

Concept

The United Nations (UN) was founded in 1945 after the Second World War to maintain international peace, promote cooperation and protect human rights. The 'one world' idea stresses global interdependence.

The UN has six principal organs.

Key Points & Formulas

  • UN founded on 24 October 1945; headquarters in New York.
  • Principal organs include the General Assembly and the Security Council.
  • Security Council has five permanent members with veto power (USA, UK, Russia, China, France).
  • Agencies: WHO (health), UNESCO (education), UNICEF (children).

Worked Example

Q. What is the main purpose of the UN Security Council?

The Security Council is responsible for maintaining international peace and security.

It can authorise peacekeeping and sanctions.

Its five permanent members hold veto power.

Common traps

  • Reading the prompt too quickly and missing a qualifier.
  • Memorising the result without checking when it applies.
  • Skipping units, signs, chronology or the final reasonableness check.

NDA shortcuts

  • State the governing rule before substituting values.
  • Eliminate impossible options before doing full calculation.
