Children, youth and ageing persons

In 2006, the sixtieth year of its operation, the United Nations Children’s Fund (unicef) continued its work to ensure that every child received the best possible start in life; was fully immunized and protected from disease, including hiv/aids, and disability; had access to quality primary school education; and was protected from violence, abuse, exploitation and discrimination. In commemoration of unicef sixtieth anniversary, the General Assembly adopted a resolution commending the Fund for its work to achieve the Millennium Development Goals and other international development goals in the interest of children. The Assembly also held a plenary meeting devoted to unicef history and accomplishments.
