Answer 9

Tens of thousands of employees have succeeded in taking hundreds of millions of dollars for producing very little.  Six-figure salaries, 41 vacation days, full health insurance, pension.  No-show jobs, nepotism, favoritsm, kick-backs, double-dipping, s*x slavery of subordinates.  The United Nations is an absolute cesspool with no mandate except to rubber stamp the policies of the highest bidder.

Answer 10

Individual UN agencies, such as UNICEF, UNFPA, UNDP, UNHCR, WHO, WFP, and UNESCO, have many successes to their names: they've fed millions of people in crisis situations, saving them from starvation, vaccinated millions of people against a variety of diseases, provided medical care to millions of people, provided education to millions to help them access paid work and better health care, monitored elections and brought in accuracies and corruption in elections to light, helped preserve precious cultural treasures, and on and on. Visit the web sites of these and other individual UN agencies to see some of these successes (there are certainly too many to name here).

The UN General Assembly successes? I couldn't name even one. They discuss a lot.

The UN Security Council? They certainly could claim to have help to prevent South Korea from falling to communism, and helping to pressure South Africa to abandon apartheid (through arms embargo). Following the six-day war in 1967, the Security Council adopted resolution 242 (1967), as the basis for achieving peace in the Middle East.

UN Peacekeeping missions are staffed entirely by the militaries of various participating countries, and while under a UN Security Council mandate and invitation of whatever country they are in to be there, they remain entirely under the command of their own countries; the success or failure of those missions has to do with the individual countries providing troops and little, if anything, to do with a UN affiliation. Since 1948 there have been 63 UN peacekeeping operations; 17 are currently under way. Thus far, close to 130 nations have contributed personnel at various times; 119 are currently providing peacekeepers. As of September 30, 2007, there were 17 peacekeeping operations underway with a total of 82,978 personnel. The top contributors of military and civilian personnel to missions as of March 2007 were Pakistan (10,173), Bangladesh (9,675), India (9,471), and Nepal (3,628).

The present-day success of post-conflict Liberia could most definitely be attributable to various UN-related efforts, as well as various other factors, including an all-female peace-keeping force from India.

Answer 11

This sounds like a "do my homework for me question" but anyway, I don't know of any other organization that tracks information like HIV/AIDS prevalence, infant mortality, gender equity, etc on such an international level.  From a policy making standpoint, having this data often helps individual governments make better pubic policy choices.
