9. UNICEF UNICEF stands for United Nation’s International Children Fund UNICEF improves the health and education to children and their mothers An example is if there was a poor single mom in Africa trying to raise 2 kids UNICEF would step in. to help

10. Summary Slide If Isreal and its allies was about to call war on Iraq and all of its affiliates, the Security Council of UN would step in to stop war from breaking out. The General Assembly is more powerful then the security council because if the majority doesn’t agree on one decision it will never be implemented by the Security Council. I don’t think the UN is doing much by what I hear whats happening to syria but the world is probably better with the UN then with out it.
