Introduction

The United Nations is commonly seen as one of humankind’s most ambitious projects, striving to attain human rights, development and peace and security for all. In many ways, the ambitious, lofty nature of its goals is both the United Nations’ greatest strength and its greatest challenge. Despite unprecedented progress made during the United Nations’ first sixty years, there remains a lingering frustration that the poorest of the poor, the most marginalized and discriminated against, still do not enjoy their basic human rights, development or security.

Sustainable Development Goals:

No Poverty

Good Health and Well-Being

Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
