Let’s explain the basics. (Only a few…that’s a big list.)
UNECE – Okay, so this is basically what it’s site (http://www.unece.org/about/about.htm) said.
First I’ll show you what it said, okay? Okay. “Its major aim is to promote pan-European economic integration. To do so, UNECE brings together 56 countries located in the European Union, non-EU Western and Eastern Europe, South-East Europe and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and North America. All these countries dialogue and cooperate under the aegis of the UNECE on economic and sectoral issues.”
But what does this mean? Oh little kiddies, let me enlighten you! It basically calls for the European countries to work together on their economy, to mix their economies together to promote helpful discussion on various issues… well, I think that’s what it means…
ITU – Here’s what the grand ‘ole site says (http://www.itu.int/net/about/index.aspx). “ITU is the leading United Nations agency for information and communication technology issues, and the global focal point for governments and the private sector in developing networks and services.
For 145 years, ITU has coordinated the shared global use of the radio spectrum, promoted international cooperation in assigning satellite orbits, worked to improve telecommunication infrastructure in the developing world, established the worldwide standards that foster seamless interconnection of a vast range of communications systems and addressed the global challenges of our times, such as mitigating climate change and strengthening cybersecurity.
ITU also organizes worldwide and regional exhibitions and forums, such as ITU TELECOM WORLD, bringing together the most influential representatives of government and the telecommunications and ICT industry to exchange ideas, knowledge and technology for the benefit of the global community, and in particular the developing world
From broadband Internet to latest-generation wireless technologies, from aeronautical and maritime navigation to radio astronomy and satellite-based meteorology, from convergence in fixed-mobile phone, Internet access, data, voice and TV broadcasting to next-generation networks, ITU is committed to connecting the world.
ITU is based in Geneva, Switzerland, and its membership includes 192 Member States and more than 700 Sector Members and Associates.”
Basically, ITU is a group that works to bring the idea of globalization alive. Haha, Mr. Bruns, I did pay attention to that video! Anyway, it works to bring different chunks of the UN together, it also works on a worldwide group alive. It works to bring leaders of many different countries around the world together so they can help each other… all while doing this over the internet, telephone, webcam, etc. Pretty cool, huh?
The rest are really long, so if you wanna know more about them. Click the main link and BAM you’re there. Just click on one of the topics and read all about them.
