The United Nations
06/22/2005 02:41 AMFor 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…

Internethttp://partners.nytimes.com/2003/12/15/technology/15divide.htmlThe 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."

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. This has been added to

Presshttp://firstmonda
y.org/issues/issue9_4/press/Abstract by
Author:This is a call for a "Grand Challenge" project
for achieving truly global connectivity. For over a decade, we have
hypothesized that the Internet could raise the quality of life in
developing nations. We have conducted hundreds of studies of the state
of the Internet and "e–readiness," done extensive training of
technicians and policy makers, run pilot studies, and held local,
regional and global conferences and workshops. After all of this
activity, Internet connectivity is nearly non–existent in rural
areas of developing nations, and far below that of developed nations
in the urban areas of developing nations. This is not to say the
activity of the past decade has been a waste. We have demonstrated the
value of the Internet and raised awareness. The United Nations and the
administrations of nearly all nations have acknowledged the potential
of the Internet. The way has been paved, and it is time to act on what
we have learned.
After outlining the work of the last
decade, we explore one possible Grand Challenge: Connecting every
village in the rural developing world to the Internet using a strategy
similar to that used in building the NSFNet. We speculate on wireless
technologies that might play a role in working toward that goal:
Terrestrial, high–altitude platform, and satellite. We conclude with
a brief discussion of alternative Grand Challenges and a call for
action. The time is ripe for an audacious project. What could we
achieve with US$15 billion and ten years time?
