Six principal organs of the United Nations:
The United Nations Security Council - This organ has primary responsibility under the UN Charter to maintain international peace and security. There are five permanent members (the UK, USA, Russia, China, and France) and a number of non-permanent members. Each of the permanent members has a right of veto.
The United Nations General Assembly - This body consists of representatives from every member-state of the UN, and each country has one vote each. It is the UN's main deliberative body, and offers recommendations in the form of UNGA Resolutions.
The Secretariat - The UN Secretary-General, currently Kofi Annan, presides over the Secretariat. It acts as administrator for the UN. The UN would grind to a halt without it.
International Court of Justice - The principal judicial organ of the UN settles legal disputes between states and gives advisory opinions.
Economic and Social Council - This organ coordinates economic and social related work of the UN. It has numerous subsidiary bodies.
Trusteeship Council - The Trusteeship Council was created to provide international supervision to Trust Territories places under the administration of other member states, as Mandates. This organ has mostly fallen into disrepair, its work mostly completed. It suspended itself in 1994.
Other UN bodies include UNICEF, the UNHCR, the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Court of Justice (also called the World Court), UNESCO, and several others.
