    The UN is financed from assessed and voluntary contributions from member states. The regular two-year budgets of the UN and its specialized agencies are funded by assessments. The General Assembly approves the regular budget and determines the assessment for each member. This is broadly based on the relative capacity of each country to pay, as measured by their Gross National Income (GNI), with adjustments for external debt and low per capita income.

    Furthermore...The General Assembly (the main deliberative organ);

    The Security Council (decides certain resolutions for peace and security);

    The Economic and Social Council (assists in promoting international economic and social cooperation and development);

    The Secretariat (provides studies, information, and facilities needed by the UN);

    The International Court of Justice (the primary judicial organ).

    Additional bodies deal with the governance of all other UN System agencies, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). The UN's most visible public figure is the Secretary-General, currently Ban Ki-moon of South Korea.

    The UN is financed from assessed and voluntary contributions from member states and has six official languages: English, Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish.
