Part 1:Reading and Interpreting (15 points)

On October 24, 1945 representatives of fifty –one nations met to form an association called the United Nations Organizations. The two main aims of UNO are the maintenance of international peace and security and the promotion of human welfare through out the world. Since then the organization has survived with difficulty. It
has faced a series of international disputes that could have involved the world in a nuclear war .The successful handling of these conflicts has proved that UNO can help in the maintenance of world peace.

If UNO has failed to settle them, the world might by now have been involved in a global war and completely destroyed .If it can continue to settle struggles peacefully, the fear of world wide disaster will disappear.
If it fails, there may be no further hope for mankind.
