As Promised, here is a list of sites that document the many successes the United Nations has contributed to the world over the last half century. It really would be a two page document to list them here, so I have just posted some links that begin to document them for me. Note, I didn't even cover the thousands of important scientific publications that have come out of UNESCO. If you really believe the UN is just a shadow agency, then you have been brainwashed by the conservative media in your locale.
