 * Important Quotes:**


 * From Amber 1:**


 * "The United Nations, or UN, is an international organization of 192 member-states. It was founded in 1945 to prevent another world war."
 * " It is headquartered in New York. In addition to its peacekeeping mandate,the UN also works to help countries reduce hunger, disease and illiteracy, and to increase human and women's rights."
 * "At the very least, the UN buys U.S. goods and services, employs Americans, and benefits local New York City businesses. A UN study shows that, for every $1 invested by the U.S. into the UN, it receives $1.50 in return."


 * From Amber 2:**


 * "With demands growing on every front, from peacekeeping to humanitarian assistance to health, the U.N. today is being called upon to do more than ever before, even as the resources to do these jobs grow proportionately more scarce. On the other hand, consider some of the ways in which the world has changed, in recent years, to the U.N.'s advantage."
 * "...a consensus has emerged on climate change and the dangers of global warming. Leaders from Bill Gates to Tony Blair to Bono are committed to helping the United Nations achieve its Millennium Development Goals, from reducing poverty to halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and malaria."
 * "Perhaps most encouraging, public support for the U.N. remains strikingly high. A new poll by WorldPublicOpinion.org found large majorities (74 percent) believe the United Nations should play a stronger role in the world, whether in preventing genocide and defending nations under attack or aggressively investigating human-rights abuses."
