The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP, UN Environment) is a programme of the United Nations that coordinates the organization's environmental activities and assists developing countries in implementing environmentally sound policies and practices. UNEP's activities cover a wide range of issues regarding the atmosphere, marine and terrestrial ecosystems, environmental governance and green economy. It has played a significant role in developing international environmental conventions, promoting environmental science and information and illustrating the way those can be implemented in conjunction with policy, working on the development and implementation of policy with national governments, regional institutions in conjunction with environmental non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

United Nations Economic and Social Council- Committee of Experts on Public Administration
<h4><a href="https://vmps.omeka.net/exhibits/show/international-public-service-g/international-public-service-g">Return to International Public Service</a></h4>
<p>The Committee of Experts on Public Administration <a href="https://publicadministration.un.org/en/cepa"><strong>(CEPA) </strong></a>was established under the aegis of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) in 2001, and is responsible for supporting the work of ECOSOC concerning the promotion and development of public administration and governance among Member States, in connection with the UN Millennium Development Goals. CEPA comprises 24 members, who meet annually in their own capacity, at UN Headquarters in New York. They do not represent their individual countries and are selected based on their expertise.<br /> <br />ECOSOC is one of the six main organs of the United Nations established by the UN Charter in 1946. It is the principal body for coordination, policy review, policy dialogue and recommendations on economic, social and environmental issues, as well as for implementation of the internationally agreed development goals. Its resolution 1199 (XLII) of 24 May 1967 requested the Secretary-General to elaborate specific objectives and programs in the field of public administration, in close collaboration with the specialized agencies and relevant non-governmental organizations. It also decided that the United Nations Program in Public Administration and Finance should be reviewed by a meeting of experts who should submit their report to the Council for consideration.<br /> <br />In subsequent resolutions, the Council invited the Secretary-General to convene meetings of the Group of Experts on the United Nations Program in Public Administration and Finance and assigned the Group guidelines, including:</p>
<ul><li>an examination of trends in public administration and finance at local, national, regional and transnational levels</li>
<li>a review of issues and priorities in public administration and finance for development, particularly with focus on developing countries, least developed countries and countries in and post-crisis</li>
<li>an account of the progress achieved in implementing the relevant provisions of the United Nations Development Agenda (from a public administration perspective)</li>
</ul>

United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF)
<h4><a href="https://vmps.omeka.net/exhibits/show/international-public-service-g/international-public-service-g">Return to International Public Service</a></h4>
<p>UNICEF promotes the rights and wellbeing of every child, in everything it does. Together with its partners, it works in 190 countries and territories to translate that commitment into practical action, focusing special effort on reaching the most vulnerable and excluded children, to the benefit of all children, everywhere.</p>
<p>In all of its work, UNICEF takes a life-cycle based approach, recognizing the particular importance of early childhood development and adolescence. UNICEF programmes focus on the most disadvantaged children, including those living in fragile contexts, those with disabilities, those who are affected by rapid urbanization and those affected by environmental degradation.</p>
<p>UNICEF was created with a distinct purpose in mind: to work with others to overcome the obstacles that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a child’s path. It advocates for measures to give children the best start in life, because proper care at the youngest age forms the strongest foundation for a person’s future.</p>
<p>UNICEF promotes girls’ education – ensuring that they complete primary education as a minimum – because it benefits all children, both girls and boys. Girls who are educated grow up to become better thinkers, better citizens, and better parents to their own children. UNICEF acts so that all children are immunized against common childhood diseases, and are well nourished: no child should suffer or die from a preventable illness. UNICEF works to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS among young people because it is right to keep them from harm and enable them to protect others. It helps children and families affected by HIV/AIDS to live their lives with dignity.</p>
<p>UNICEF involves everyone in creating protective environments for children. It is present to relieve suffering during emergencies, and wherever children are threatened, because no child should be exposed to violence, abuse or exploitation.</p>
<p>UNICEF upholds the Convention on the Rights of the Child. It works to assure equality for those who are discriminated against, girls and women in particular. UNICEF works for the Millennium Development Goals and for the progress promised in the United Nations Charter. It strives for peace and security, works to hold everyone accountable to the promises made for children.</p>
<p>This organization is part of the Global Movement for Children – a broad coalition dedicated to improving the life of every child. Through this movement, and events such as the United Nations Special Session on Children, it encourage young people to speak out and participate in the decisions that affect their lives. </p>

<p>The U.S. Fund for UNICEF supports UNICEF's work, and other efforts in support of the world's children, through fundraising, advocacy and education in the United States.</p>
<p>The organization works with governments, civic leaders, celebrities, corporations, campus groups, churches, teachers and anyone willing to help advocate for the survival and well-being of every child.</p>
<p>UNICEF does whatever it takes to save and protect the world's most vulnerable children. Forty years ago, UNICEF figured out that promoting simple, low-cost interventions like hand washing and breastfeeding could save millions of lives. Undaunted by war or geography, UNICEF delivers.</p>

<p>In July 2010, the United Nations General Assembly created UN Women, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women. In doing so, UN Member States took an historic step in accelerating the Organization’s goals on gender equality and the empowerment of women. The creation of UN Women came about as part of the UN reform agenda, bringing together resources and mandates for greater impact. It merges and builds on the important work of four previously distinct parts of the UN system, which focused exclusively on gender equality and women’s empowerment:</p>
<ul><li>Division for the Advancement of Women (DAW)</li>
<li>International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women (INSTRAW)</li>
<li>Office of the Special Adviser on Gender Issues and Advancement of Women (OSAGI)</li>
<li>United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM)</li>
</ul><p>The main roles of UN Women are:</p>
<ul><li>To support inter-governmental bodies, such as the Commission on the Status of Women, in their formulation of policies, global standards and norms.</li>
<li>To help Member States to implement these standards, standing ready to provide suitable technical and financial support to those countries that request it, and to forge effective partnerships with civil society.</li>
<li>To lead and coordinate the UN system’s work on gender equality as well as promote accountability, including through regular monitoring of system-wide progress.</li>
</ul><p></p>

Eleanor Roosevelt and United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights
<h4><a href="https://vmps.omeka.net/exhibits/show/public-protection-interests/public-protection-interests">Return to Protecting Public Interest</a></h4>
"Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home - so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person; the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm, or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman, and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world.
Eleanor Roosevelt, “In Our Hands”
1958
Here, Eleanor Roosevelt is pictured holding the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a highly influential document that she helped create.
One of the most influential members of the United Nations' Commission on Human Rights was Eleanor Roosevelt. A modest and compassionate woman, she laid the foundation for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which is still widely recognized today. The basic philosophy of the Declaration was that “'all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act toward one another in a spirit of brotherhood.” In the following 29 articles, topics such as non-discrimination, civil rights (such as the right to life, liberty, and property), freedom of thought and religion, and cultural rights are discussed. In modern times, this “standard of achievement” has been published in different languages all over the world, measuring the performance of non-government organizations and United Nations bodies. More than twenty human rights treaties found their inspiration in this document, as well as constitution and legislation throughout the United States."
