The United Nations main goals were to:
-To keep peace throughout the world
-To develop friendly relations among nations
-To help nations work together to improve the lives of poor people, to conquer hunger, disease, and illiteracy, and to encourage respect for each other's rights and freedoms
-To be a center for harmonizing the actions of nations to achieve these goals.
