IRIN - United Nations Integrated Regional Information Networks
http://www.irinnews.org/

When crisis or disaster hits a country, communications are often one of the first casualties. Reliable sources dry up, government agencies collapse, media images do not give the full picture. Without constantly updated and accurate information on washed-out roads, bombed airfields, landmines, disease-infested water, epidemics, or civil unrest and outbreaks of violence, it is impossible to respond effectively. People die and money and supplies are wasted. Today, in sub-Saharan Africa and Central Asia the need for an accurate picture of events on the ground is being met by the Integrated Regional Information Networks (IRIN), part of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). IRIN, which was born out of the 1994 crisis in the Great Lakes region of central Africa, pioneered the use of e-mail and web technology to deliver and receive information to and from some of the most remote and underdeveloped places in Africa, cheaply and efficiently. Its reporting focuses on strengthening universal access to timely, strategic and non-partisan information so as to enhance the capacity of the humanitarian community to understand, respond to and avert emergencies. IRIN further supports efforts at conflict resolution and reconciliation by countering misinformation and propaganda. Governments, aid workers, civil societies, disaster specialists, members of the public all receive and contribute to regular reports on a wide array of political, economic and social issues affecting humanitarian efforts. IRIN takes an increasingly broad view of what comprises 'humanitarianism' and seeks to cover the full range of humanitarian issues from the abuse of human rights to the environment. Moreover, local communities are a key component in the information exchange process, enriching IRIN reports with grassroots material and creating a platform for debate between humanitarian decision-makers and affected communities.

For years I have been amazed as I’ve listened to people here in the United States demonstrate their complete ignorance of the purpose and tremendous value of the United Nations, even to the point of our country not paying dues to the organization. Ambassador to the United Nations havs often been viewed as second-class or B-level diplomatic job and with the current presidential perspective, the UN has become a troublesome entity and the appointment of…

http://partners.nytimes.com/2003/12/15/technology/15divide.html
The delegates at a U.N. conference on the Internet have decided that a "working group" should be set up to consider introducing more international oversight of the Internet and its administrative bodies (such as ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, a company that has a U.S. Commerce Department contract to coordinates Internet addresses and some other technical issues). At the conference, delegates from the developing countries were unsuccessful in getting the U.N. to take full administrative control of the Internet, although they did get a promise that ways will be explored to close the "digital divide" between richer and poorer nations. Eli M. Noam, who heads the Institute for Tele-Information at Columbia University, notes: "Even if it is not true, there is a perception that the U.S. government is running the Internet."
