2003 - A Momentous Year for the United Nations

A year of war in Iraq that divided the UN's membership.

A year when a deadly bomb in Baghdad showed that the UN itself was a target.

And a year when the Organization continued its fight for peace and against disease, poverty and hardship, most especially HIV/AIDS which claims 8,000 victims every day while 42 million are now infected with the virus globally.

The annual Year in Review captures the essence of the worldwide work of the United Nations in 2003.
