Congratulations! You have successfully facilitated a resolution of the conflict in
Syria. But, the UN’s job is far from
over. As you may remember, from yesterday, there are
hundreds of thousands of refugees of the conflict. These people are without homes, and over a
million do not have enough food. Much of
the ability of Syria to produce agriculture and industrial goods was also destroyed
by the fighting. Because you did such a
great job as a member of the Security Council, the Secretary General would like
your country to serve on the UN Economic and Social Council
You will now be working as a member of ECOSOC to recommend how
the UN can best help the people of Syria affected by the violence. You will work with your partner to research the
purpose and function of ECOSOC. You must
list 3 functions that ECOSOC serves in helping the people of the
world. You will use the following link to complete this on your
loose leaf paper.
There are many organizations that work within ECOSOC to
help the people of the world. You and
your partner will be working as a member of one of these organizations.
1. Food and Agricultural Organization of
the United Nations (FAO)
2. United Nations Children’s Fund
(UNICEF)
3. United Nations High Commissioner of
Refugees (UNHCR)
Go to the link for your organization. On your loose leaf paper-
·
What is the mission of your organization?
·
List 3 functions or purposes of your
organization.
Now that you know the function of your organization you
must evaluate how it can help the people of Syria. Working with your partner, think of ways in
which your organization could help the people of Syria.
Think back to the evidence, and how the fighting affected their lives
and their country as a whole.
On loose leaf-

Identify 3 ways that your organization can be
used to help Syria. Be specific!
