From the UN:
Quote

Uganda: Child soldiers at centre of mounting humanitarian crisis

Central African Republic: a silent crisis crying out for help

AIDS orphans in sub-Saharan Africa: a looming threat to future generations

The peacekeeping paradox: as peace spreads, surge in demand strains UN resources

Tajikistan: rising from the ashes of civil war

Women as peacemakers: from victims to re-builders of society

Persons with disabilities: a treaty seeks to break new ground in ensuring equality

Bakassi Peninsula: Recourse to the law to prevent conflict

Overfishing: a threat to marine biodiversity

Indigenous peoples living in voluntary isolation


It's too obvious that the UN is just a great world SOCIALIST organisation.


BTW, why do you post this?

Because I want to further mine and my comrades cause, that is, to convert everyone into being a "Lefty Liberal pinko homosexual".

Why do you ask?

lol @ Leander

Seriously, though, It's good that we shift focus from the U.S., and the affairs it's involved in! I'm fed up with all those threads about Iraq. I love political discussions, but it's not interesting to bash the same subject over and over again...

Overfishing: a threat to marine biodiversity


A threat to biodiversity!??! It's a threat to the food supply.
