Summary/Abstract: The United Nations are in the mission and function of achieving peace and freedom, especially in societies that are moving through the process of democratization and respect for the truth, freedom of expression and affirmation of human rights and freedoms. They continuously create and adopt various documents - declarations, resolutions, recommendations, etc., that oblige member states to respect and apply the regulations that make the content of these documents. This in fact ensures the development of the world community, oblige non-democratic regimes to respect the prescribed standards, and ensures the protection of peace and freedom. In this way, United Nations not only encourage states to maintain peace and cooperation and to reject conflicts within a state, but also between different countries, and also influence the development of consciousness that primarily contributes to achieving or preserving peace and democracy. In this text, in fact, exactly these activities of the United Nations in construction of the binding regulation will be discussed.
