While U.N. peacekeeping has recently been the focus of attention. much of the United Nations work takes place in other areas. Less in the spotlight are the steadfast efforts of U.N. agencies working to alleviate poverty. to slow the spread of HIV/A.I.D.S.. and to feed and educate the worlds children. Where conflict leads to destabilization of families and societies. the United Nations is there to shelter and feed refugees and displaced persons. Progress made on upholding international norms on human rights also stems from the work of U.N. agencies. Finally. the United Nations is responsible for many of the gains made in reducing the use of ozonedepleting substances. evaluating environmental impacts. and conserving biological diversity.
