1. Food aid
Food supply is always a significant issue. Especially in the 21st century, when the global population increases exponentially, the food problem becomes more vital and imperative. In that context, the UN’s World Food Program has removed the pressure burdening the shoulders of many countries. The World Food Program is known as one of the most successful programs the UN has ever ratified because of its enormous impacts on the global community. Every year, the UN feeds 104 million people in 80 countries. They feed people in war zones, natural disasters, health emergencies and poor countries.
2.. Protecting Children
Perhaps, many of us are too familiar with the phrase “UNICEF” because it is repeated myriad of times on the media. Yes, UNICEF (United Children’s Fund) is an agency belonging to United Nations whose headquarters are based in New York. This organization protects the rights of children everywhere in the world and works to enhance the living standards of children. With the significant contribution of UNICEF, the number of deaths for children under the age of 5 has declined from nearly 12 million in 1990 to 6.9 million in 2011
3.. Running Elections
Incontrovertibly, a free election is one of the most basic political rights of everybody around the world. But in fact, not everyone gets access to freedom of choice. The UN has fought continuously for the voting right of people in areas where the ideology of dictatorship or monarchy is still dominating. A great example of this is with Iraq. With the external support from an international community, represented by the UN, Iraq successfully overthrew Saddam’s government and installed an interim administration in which the government was completely elected by Iraq citizens. The successful election in Iraq did not only create a momentous turning point in Iraq’s history but it also marked a new step for the UN in the war against dictatorship and totalitarianism.
4.. War Crimes Prosecution
This is a fairly new line of business for the UN. The Tribunals it has set up for former Yugoslavia and Rwanda have had their share of delays and management problems but, all in all, they are respected, have developed an important case law on genocide and human rights and have provided a measure of justice that is taken very seriously by the people of affected regions. War crime, again, is such a controversial issue to be judged by an individual or even a single state. On behalf of the international community, the UN has been in charge of running many different tribunals and sentenced the rational sanctions to the war criminals. The operations of the UN in this area do not only persevere the international equity but also raise awareness about human rights and justice.
5. Fighting AIDS
The UN is the leader when it comes to the global battle against HIV/AIDS. Between the World Health Organization, UNAIDS, and the Global Fund to fight AIDS, the UN is at the heart of every aspect of dealing with this epidemic, from heightening awareness to raising funds to making sure appropriate programs for prevention and treatment are implemented. The UN has wisely recognized that the organization itself cannot shoulder this one alone, and has set up the Fund and other mechanisms aimed at drawing governments, other multilateral, NGOs and corporations into the fight. According to the most recent report of UNAIDS, the number of people who died from AIDS and the opportunistic disease caused by AIDS has decreased from 2.3 million in 2005 to 1.6 million in 2012. There are more and more people who have HIV and who are supported by the UN and its sub-organizations.
