"UNICEF Asks Leaders to 'Keep the Promise' to the World's Children"

Reuter (12/19/90)

Abstract: United Nations--UNICEF today released its State of the World's Children report, in which the U.N. organization said millions of children depend on the promises of world leaders to invest in feeding and caring for them. The report said that although hard-won gains in nutrition and child health have been made, AIDS threatens to wipe them out, particularly in Africa. The report focused on 20 goals for the year 2000 adopted at the World Summit for Children and asked if they would be met. UNICEF rebuked world leaders for spending more on weapons than child care.
