Detailed explanation-1: -When the Korean War broke out in June 1950, the UN intervened by sending armed forces mandated by the Security Council Resolution 82. It was the first undertaking of its kind in the history of the UN. Almost 70 years after the Korean armistice, the UN Command still maintains its presence on the Korean Peninsula.
Detailed explanation-2: -On April 19, 1946, the League of Nations dissolved, ending 26 years of the existence of an organization which had proven incapable of preventing World War II.
