Additional bodies deal with the governance of all other UN System agencies, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF).

Q. My opinion is The United Nations needs to get out of our Country. Did you know they want to control The Internet for the USA? Also, Nance Pelosi wants to pass a bill based on Global Warming. It will apply penalties to other Countries that don't apply. They will get fined and the taxes will go to the UN. Then the money will be disbursed to other Nations. UN needs to go!

They find it easier to blame America and oftentimes, Israel, for the ills of the world rather than a small country country. They are anti-Semitic. They are corrupt. They are a picture perfect example of organized crime. They are more of a hindrance than an asset to their wet dream of achieving "world peace." They can threaten countries with sanctions and resolutions but lack the spine and fortitude to actually back them up (exactly what Saddam counted on...but he didn't count on the US shunning the UN; hehehe.)
