Three Key Messages

 

The UN is important for the community.

The future of New Zealand depends vitally on international developments. Whether its international conflict, disease control, the environment or energy resources, we are integrated with the rest of the world. Increasingly, we need to have global perspectives on complex global problems. The UN is the key to focussing global attention onto critical issues.

 

The UN influences the community in many different ways.

The UN is active on a very wide range of areas bearing on almost all aspects of daily life, going far beyond the peacekeeping and disaster relief issues that dominate headlines. It also engages a wide range of players, including community organisations, corporations and individual experts as well as governments.

 

Members of the community can influence the UN.

Through the many involved organisations, as well as many Internet channels, the UN and associated institutions are increasingly open to ideas from a wide range of interested organisations and individuals. The system is not perfect, and there is plenty of scope for concerned people to contribute to its improvement.
