Many people have lost all faith in the UN, and in international organizations in general. I understand the reasons why - I've just finished reading Shake Hands with the Devil, Romeo Dallaire's account of his role in the UN's mission to Rwanda during the genocide in the mid 1990s. However, I have recently been reminded of the good accomplishments the UN makes and I'd thought I'd share. A blog called Democracy Arsenal list 10 things the UN does well. And while I don't agree with all of the items on the list, a few stand out for me, particularly aid to refugees and fighting AIDS.
I first saw this list on the AIDS Matters newsletter.
