The United Nations

The United Nations has been established by Art. 7 of the Charter of the United Nations [1], which was signed on 26 June 1945, in San Francisco. It is composed of six principal organs:

and (numerous) subsidiary organs (as have been found necessary) established in accordance with the Charter's article 57.

Check Where can I find a chart of the UN System? for the most recent chart of the United Nations System, and Organisation (Ens.wiki) for the role of these organisations in the data collection for the indicators of the #2030Agenda for Sustainable Development - #SDGs.

An up-to-date overview of websites is provided at Alphabetic Index of Websites of the United Nations System of Organizations.

Today the United Nations includes organs covering most or all of the COFOG classes, as can be seen in the below tabs where some of the UN's organs are classified according to their area of focus (row: International)(to be completed).

The same tab-structure is used in Global Actors to classify non-UN international organizations, in European Union to classify European Institutions, and in Country Actor Maps for most countries of the world, to position national institutions.
