The statement that best describes the structure of the UN is: "All nations are intended to be equal, but some members have more power than others."

In the United Nations (UN), all member states have equal representation in the General Assembly, where each country gets one vote. However, in the Security Council, five permanent members (the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, and China) hold significant power, including the ability to veto resolutions. This creates an imbalance in power among member states.
