Answer 1

Yes, the United Nations' principal agencies have fulfilled their mission for the following reasons:

2. UNICEF's initiatives have saved the lives of almost 90 million children around the world.
3. UNESCO protects 1073 World Heritage sites in 167 nations. It provides funding for engineering and technology projects in several poor nations, as well as research in geology, mathematics, physics, and oceanography.
