The UN was founded upon fundamental ethical principles, and its founding Charter embodies the highest aspirations of humanity. It is an international organization devoted to promoting peace, security, human rights, economic development, social progress, and intercultural understanding. It seeks to achieve these goals by way of political and diplomatic processes and with the help of international organizations and non-governmental organizations. The UN is not a government; it does not rule by force and it does not claim to be the world's legislator
