The United Nations (abbreviated UN), was an international organization comprised of nearly all nation states on Earth in the 20th and 21st century.

In 1953, the UN held a meeting in London. (DS9: "Far Beyond the Stars")

The original organization was succeeded by the New United Nations sometime prior to 2036. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint")

The draft scripts for Star Trek: First Contact mention the demise of the original UN at the turn of the 21st century, even before the Third World War.

An organization known as the UN still existed in the early 22nd century, before the formation of the United Earth government in 2150. Starships, such as the OCC owned SS Mariposa operated under UN registry in 2123. (TNG: "Up The Long Ladder", "Attached")

It's possible that these later references are rather meant to actually refer to the New UN instead of a second instituation of the "old" UN.
