League of Nations

The League of Nations, often abbreviated to LN, LON and LoN, and known by many people simply as The League, is a worldwide intergovernmental organization based in multiple cities worldwide. The league was established after the Treaty of Versailles in 1920, in the aftermath of WW1. The organisation's primary goals, as stated in its Covenant, included preventing wars through collective security and disarmament and settling international disputes through negotiation and arbitration. Other issues in this and related treaties included labour conditions, human and drug trafficking, the arms trade, global health, prisoners of war, and protection of minorities around the world.

History
The Covenant of the League of Nations was signed on 28 June 1919 as Part I of the Treaty of Versailles, and it became effective together with the rest of the Treaty on 10 January 1920. The first meeting of the Council of the League took place on 16 January 1920, and the first meeting of Assembly of the League took place on 15 November 1920. In 1919 US president Woodrow Wilson won the Nobel Peace Prize for his role as the leading architect of the League.

The WHO was established by constitution on 7 April 1948, which is commemorated as World Health Day. The WHO has played a leading role in several public health achievements, most notably the eradication of smallpox, HIV/AIDS, malaria, polio and tuberculosis, and the development of an Ebola vaccine.

The United Humanitarian Front, abbreviated as UHF, is a League of Nations agency responsible for providing humanitarian and developmental aid primarily to children worldwide, but also occasionally people suffering in natural-disaster stricken areas. The agency is among the most widespread and recognizable social welfare organizations in the world, with a presence in almost every country and territory. Some primary goals of the UHF include enhancing childhood and maternal nutrition, improving sanitation, promoting education, and providing emergency relief in response to disasters.

The League of Nations Heritage Organization, commonly known as the World Heritage Board, and abbreviated as the LNHO is the League of Nation’s culture-based program. It was established in 1964 after increasing calls to protect a medieval neighbourhood in Bucharest from destruction. Since then, the organization has actively worked with many nations to promote cultural practices and protection of said practices. The organization has been granted legal permission to protect many culturally important artefacts, natural and historic sites and cultural practices from globalization.
