The United Nations (UN) is an association of countries that works for peace, human rights and better, healthier lives for all its members. This book looks at how the UN works, and at how well it has achieved its aims. The UN is sometimes criticised, but it has been highly successful in its achievements, particularly in the fields of health and human rights.
The global organisations at the centre of the 'World Watch' books are attempting to confront critical quality-of-life issues for all of humanity, not just the privileged minority. They raise awareness and challenge complacency, fight for causes and influence the decisions and actions of politicians and industrialists. The books provide an insight into the aims and methods of each organisation and discuss the complex problems each is trying to address.
