The
United Nations (better known as the UN)
The United Nations is an
international organization that was formed in a meeting in
There are six principles of the UN
included the General Assembly, Security Council, Economic and Social Council,
Trusteeship Council, International Court of Justice, and Secretariat. The whole
United Nations body is larger, having 15 agencies as well as other
programs. It’s budget is very large,
(2000-2001) $2,535 million. It is used
on a number of different efforts which are supposed to improve conditions for
citizens in all nations, which the organization calls Humanitarian Relief
Efforts.
The organization is very open to
telling people what they are doing in the world and what they want to do. On the website, there are
constant news briefs and media links.
Getting publicized is important so that they can gain supporters, as
well as raise awareness about international emergencies which often aren’t
addressed or understood.
Ishmael was a part of a special
children’s conference which created a stir about the severity of life for
children in bad circumstances all over the world. He was able to make a difference, along with
other children. The news coverage on
children’s efforts is very apparent in the UN’s
public information. Though some UN goals
are not reached, the attempts still help many.
