UN

The United Nations (UN)) (.org) is the only place where all nations have to get together and talk without killing each other. Well ok mostly without.

There are several reasons Consumerium cares about the UN. For one thing, UNESCO, UNHCR and other organizations within the UN have information we can mostly trust and that we want in our content wiki. The UN has as close as we can really get to a neutral point of view on some questions.

For another thing, the ACUNU runs consultation projects and probably will at some point run an opinion wiki regarding issues in global economies... helping us focus user attention for simultaneous policy on a somewhat less factionally defined basis than relying on oh say Green Parties for this.

Finally, if there is ever world government, Consumerium Services will surely be either the biggest challenge to it, or the biggest part of it. This should start with safe trade standards and move on to at least elimination of ape genocide and slavery (both already illegal, not economically or politically necessary anywhere).

• UNECE (.org) organizer and source of UN/LOCODE location identification and transport function database.
