URMAS REINSALU, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Estonia, said the United Nations was created to save future generations from endless suffering and wars.  Global cooperation is essential to meet this goal.  The various agencies, funds and programmes that make up the United Nations family have achieved many goals and helped countless people.  This includes helping people face many health challenges, such as eliminating smallpox and the fight against HIV/AIDS.  The international community is now living through turbulent times.  There are violations of sovereignty and civilian populations are being harmed by armed groups.  The pandemic continues to ravage the world and has had a devastating impact on poverty and education.  Estimates show that the international community will see the first increase in poverty since 1998.  Ongoing reforms are needed to maintain a vital Organization.  Estonia is committed to standing for international law.
