Solution

The correct option is D To promote international peace an security
The millions of deaths and human rights violations that ensued during World War 2 and the holocaust led to a call for human rights to be made universal. Fifty-one countries gathered in San Francisco to sign a document. This document was a charter creating a new organisation, the United Nations. The primary function of the UN was to maintain International Peace and security. Today, the UN promotes the development and provides humanitarian assistance to those in need. It upholds International Law, protects human rights and promotes democracy.
