~~==History==~~

The United Nations Economic and Social Council was established following the adoption of the United Nations Charter at the [[United Nations Conference on International Organization]] in San Francisco in 1945. Recognizing that international peace and security depended not only on political stability but also on economic development, social progress, public health, education, and respect for human rights, the Charter created ECOSOC as one of the organization's principal organs.

During the early years of the United Nations, the Council focused on post-war reconstruction, economic recovery, refugee assistance, and the establishment of international standards for social welfare and human rights. As the number of United Nations member states increased through decolonization, ECOSOC expanded its work to include development cooperation, poverty reduction, industrialization, environmental protection, and technical assistance. Since the adoption of the [[2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development]] in 2015, the Council has played a central role in monitoring progress toward the [[Sustainable Development Goals]] (SDGs).
