Is the United Nations Organisation doing anything really to stop poverty and hunger from spreading? Muhammad Haque updating his Manifesto of 1991

Muhammad Haque diagnosing the disastrous irrelevance of the UNO's dominant bureaucracy to the real needs of the vast majority of the world's ordinary people -

Is the United Nations Organisation doing anything really to stop poverty and hunger from spreading?

In the run up, so to speak, to the then UK Prime Minister John Major's "address" at the United Nations General Assembly, I broadcast a brief Manifesto for the world. I did that on the UK terrestrial Channel 4 ‘Slot’ [that has been carried in the few minutes immediately after the Channel 4 News of 1800 GMT is broadcast on ordinary weekdays] which has had various tags or titles. The Political slot is probably the most frequently associated one.
In that broadcast, lasting only a few minutes, I predicted that the POVERTY MIGRATION of massive numbers of people from the Asian and African continents [and by implications elsewhere in the other continents and parts of the world] would become the bigger challenge for the "rulers" of the world.
I told John Major in that broadcast that he was wrong to overdo the "concerns" about nuclear threats that he and his "allies" associated with "Third World" regimes.
I said that the most economic and sustainable action would be to address poverty in the countries of origins of the people who were migrating or going to want to migrate.
Has anyone taken any notice of what I said then?
Did John Major pay any attention?
Did the United Nations General Assembly itself?
Did the UK’s very own and very “modest” United Nations Association pay any attention to what I said about the challenge of hunger and famine that was looming 20 years ago?
