Over the years, Basic Facts has expanded the scope and depth of its coverage as the Organization has broadened its commitment to meet the urgent needs of an ever more populous and complex world. At the same time, the book has remained true to its roots as a comprehensive yet concise guide to this leading world body. Continuing that tradition, this forty-second edition outlines the current structure of the UN system and explains how each individual part contributes to achieving key international goals. Basic Facts begins by recounting the origins of the United Nations and providing an overview of the wider system of UN institutions and agencies. In a year that began with the ninth Secretary-General taking office, it also explains the selection process. Successive chapters describe the Organization’s efforts to advance international peace and security; enhance economic and social development in an environmentally sustainable manner; protect human rights and eliminate discrimination; provide humanitarian relief to refugees, displaced persons and those affected by natural and man-made disasters; and develop and standardize international law. These chapters portray an Organization unique in its ability to mobilize collective action to meet the challenges facing our world. 000012319 61020 $$aUnited Nations. 000012319 61026 $$aNations Unies. 000012319 650_0 $$aHuman rights. 000012319 650_4 $$aUN FAMILY OF ORGANIZATIONS 000012319 650_4 $$aHUMAN RIGHTS 000012319 650_4 $$aINTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS : UNITED NATIONS : PUBLICATIONS 000012319 650_4 $$aECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT 000012319 650_4 $$aINTERNATIONAL PEACE AND SECURITY 000012319 650_4 $$aHUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE 000012319 650_4 $$aSETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES 000012319 650_4 $$aENVIRONMENTAL LAW 000012319 650_4 $$aDECOLONIZATION 000012319 942__ $$cMON 000012319 952__ $$w2006-11-03$$p2000-0799$$r7.50$$u13039$$bMAIN$$10$$kC 29 UN.B$$v2000-09-09$$zSinha$$70 000012319 980__ $$aBIB 000012319 999__ $$c12698$$d12698
