Explanation:

The World Bank was created during the Second World War in 1944. Its activities are focused on the developing countries. It works for human development (education, health), agriculture and rural development (irrigation, rural services), environment protection (pollution reduction, establishing and enforcing regulation), infrastructure (roads, urban regeneration, electricity) and governance (anti-corruption, development of legal institutions). It provides loans and grants to the member-countries. In this way, it exercises enormous influence on the economic policies of developing countries. It is often criticised for setting the economic agenda of the poorer nations, attaching stringent conditions to its loans and forcing free market reforms.

The Human Rights Council is the main intergovernmental body within the United Nations responsible for human rights. Human Rights Council became operational since 19 June 2006.

The predecessor of the United Nations was the League of Nations, established in 1919, after World War I, under the Treaty of Versailles: The First World War encouraged the world to invest in an international organisation to deal with conflict. Many believed that such an organisation would help the world to avoid war. As a result, the League of Nations was born. The UN was founded as a successor to the League of Nations. The League of Nations was a product of the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, involving representatives from many countries. The 28th President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, is considered the main architect of the League of Nations.

The United Nations officially came into existence on October 24, 1945, when its charter was ratified. The organisation United Nations was set up through the signing of the United Nations Charter by 51 states in 1945. It tried to achieve what the League could not between the two world wars. The UN’s objective is to prevent international conflict and to facilitate cooperation among states. It was founded with the hope that it would act to stop the conflicts between states from escalating into war and, if war broke out, to limit the extent of hostilities.
