ENG101: We are the World (Geary)

The main parts of the UN structure are the General Assembly, the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, the Trusteeship Council, the international Court of Justice, and the UN Secretariat. All were established in 1945 when the UN was founded.

Human Rights Watch investigates and reports on abuses happening in all corners of the world. We are roughly 490 people of 70-plus nationalities who are country experts, lawyers, journalists, and others who work to protect the most at risk, from vulnerable minorities and civilians in wartime, to refugees and children in need.

Genocide Watch exists to predict, prevent, stop, and punish genocide and other forms of mass murder. We seek to raise awareness and influence public policy concerning potential and actual genocide. Our purpose is to build an international movement to prevent and stop genocide.

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention was founded to fill a gap in the global prevention protocols. We noticed during several trips to northern Iraq in 2016 and 2017 that very little of the work that goes on at high levels of governments, in international organizations, and among large civil society groups ever reaches people facing genocide and mass atrocity, although they are the people for whom all this work is supposed to be done.

FamineWatch at Columbia is the first initiative in what we envision as a global FamineWatch Early Warning Research Coalition. We unite researchers, students, and practitioners from a diverse network of academic institutions and research organizations to develop resilient, fuzzy logic-based early warning systems. By capturing subtle shifts in food system vulnerabilities, we empower decision-makers with timely insights to help prevent emerging risks from escalating into crises.

We support humanitarian organizations to respond effectively to the needs of people caught in crises, to understand and analyse their needs, and to mobilize international assistance. We provide tools and services to help humanitarian organizations ensure that no one affected by a crisis is left behind.

UNICEF, the United Nations agency for children, works to protect the rights of every child, especially the most disadvantaged and those hardest to reach. Across more than 190 countries and territories, we do whatever it takes to help children survive, thrive and fulfil their potential.
