Ann Veneman acknowledges food giant does not comply with World Health Organisation guidelines as she takes up board postFormer Unicef head Ann Veneman pledged to fight from within to change Nestlé's marketing of breast milk substitutes as she controversially took up a boardroom seat at the Swiss food and drinks giant, despite pleas from nutrition advocates not to lend her name to the company's marketing of breast milk substitutes. Veneman, who headed the UN children's agency from 2005-2010 and before that was US agriculture secretary in George W Bush's administration, has acknowledged Nestlé is not fully complying with a voluntary breast milk code adopted by the World Health Organisation.Nestl。Food & drink industryNutrition and developmentWorld Health OrganisationHealthguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2011 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- Letters: Leave Kosovo to decide its future
One question emerging from the publication of Dick Marty's report (Kosovo's PM 'controls illegal trade in organs', 15 December) is why has it take so long to produce. Perhaps because the US and her allies knew about the allegations, but for the sake of stability wanted to ignore them.But the real problem in Kosovo is not the Kosovo government. It is the presence of so many international organisations which together conspire to prevent change. The list would include the International Civilian Office, the European Rule of Law Mission, the UN ission in Kosovo, the UN protection force supplied by Nato, Unicef, UNHCR, the World Bank, the European commission, and western embassies with their pet projects. After 11 years there is still no real market in Kosovo; there is much poverty, and unemployment is officially at 40% – probably much higher. Minorities – like the Bosniaks and Turks – are segregated and marginalised.I run a small NGO involved in mediation between the Serbs in the historic monasteries of Pec and Decani and the local Kosovo Albanian municipalities. Both parties have indicated their willingness to talk. Trying to get even the most modest resources together for this work is almost impossible. The reason is simply that, in spite of all the rhetoric, the desire to keep the status quo is a priority. There is now an opportunity for the Kosovo Albanians to call to account prime minister Thaçi and his colleagues – but internationals should keep out!Rev Donald ReevesDirector, Soul of EuropeKosovoOrganised crimeguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- A calamity for disaster relief | Mark Leon Goldberg
The international community's capacity to cope with the world's humanitarian crises is crippled by an ever-widening funding gapHas the international community been too slow to respond to Pakistan's epic floods? Judging by the numbers, it would appear so. To date, relief agencies have only received about two thirds of the $459.7m the UN calculated was required for the initial response to the worst natural disaster in recent history.Yet, compared to other ongoing humanitarian crises around the world, this can be considered quite a robust effort. Excluding Pakistan, the United Nations is currently overseeing funding appeals for 17 distinct humanitarian crises. Only six of these emergencies are funded above half of what the United Nations says is required for relief efforts. Haiti, despite all of the attention, has only received 70% of its $1.4bn appeal. No appeal has received more than 75% of funds requested.When a flood, hurricane or drought strikes a poor country, the world looks to wealthier countries to fund an emergency relief effort led by UN agencies and international non-governmental organisations. Between the floods in Pakistan, the Haiti earthquake and these 16 other current crises, the international system for responding to humanitarian emergencies has reached the limit of what it can accomplish by depending on the generosity and goodwill of wealthy countries.This is deeply problematic for the humanitarian organisations to which the world turns when people are suddenly uprooted by conflict or natural disaster. UN agencies like the World Food Programme (WFP) and Unicef are funded entirely through voluntary contributions. They set a budget for their regular programmes based on the money they are able to raise, mostly from governments.

- Letter: Remember the child victims of sex tourism
As we mark the UN's World Tourism Day today we shall be looking to celebrate the role played by tourism in encouraging and revitalising local cultures and traditions. However, we are concerned that focusing solely on the benefits that tourism brings risks ignoring the industry's dark side – a sex tourism trade in which young children are recruited and groomed to satisfy a demand from tourists who travel abroad for sex.In Brazil, along with partner organisations, we are working to mitigate the effects of this insidious trend; reports state that the country is overtaking Thailand as the most popular destination for child sex tourism. Despite Brazil's growing economy, street children in cities like Recife, in the north-east of the country, are turning to prostitution simply to afford a plate of food.Life on the street for these children is grim and often punctuated by violence, drug addiction and sexual abuse. Many girls fall pregnant by the age of 12. The statistics are heart-wrenching – Unicef estimates that there are as many as 250,000 child prostitutes in Brazil. Faced with this alarming epidemic, we and our partners are engaged in a daily struggle to help street children by giving them a safe place and, hopefully, a chance to rebuild their lives.While we recognise the positive impact that tourism has had, it is vital that occasions such as World Tourism Day do not obscure the need to confront the industry's darkest manifestations.Sarah de Carvalho Happy Child International, Christine Beddoe ECPAT UK, Andy Stockbridge Toybox, Louise Meincke Consortium for Street Children, Andrew Webb ABC Trust, Danny Smith Jubilee Campaign, Tony Miles-Prouten 180° AllianceChild protectionChildrenProstitutionBrazilBrazilguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of t 我々として、私たちは奨励し、地域の文化や伝統を再活性化の観光が果たす役割を記念して探しているものと、今日、国連の世界観光の日をマークします
- Millennium development goals: UN summit must prompt action, not complacency | Larry Elliott
With inequality, poverty and food prices rising, and the global economy in turmoil, leaders must honour their MDG pledgesThere are two ways of looking at this week's events in New York. The upbeat take is that it was a mightily useful opportunity to assess progress towards hitting the UN's millennium development goals, marked by calls for action, pledges of support, and recommitment to previously established targets.The downbeat interpretation is that, on past form, the calls for action will be followed by torpor, the pledges of support will be quietly reneged on, the goals missed. Even worse, the assumption that the global community will somehow muddle through ignores trends that in the past have been the recipe for misery, civil unrest, and even revolution.Let's just examine a few pieces of evidence that have emerged in recent weeks. Exhibit number one comes from the International Monetary Fund, which, in a study it prepared for the New York summit, noted that the economic crisis of the past three years has been a setback in the fight against poverty. The IMF estimates that 71 million fewer people will have escaped absolute poverty by 2020 than would have been the case had the financial meltdown not occurred.Exhibit number two was a report from Unicef highlighting the gulf between the life chances of rich and poor children, not only between developed and developing countries but within developing countries themselves. In the least-developed nations of sub-Saharan Africa, a child born into one of the most impoverished families is three times more likely to be underweight than a child growing up in the richest 20% of families in the same country.Inequality, in other words, is everywhere.Exhibit number three is the recent sharp increase in food prices, up almost 17% in t 不平等、貧困と食料価格が混乱の世界経済は、上昇して、日EU首脳は、pledgesThereニューヨークで今週のイベントで探しているの2つの方法がありますがミレニアム開発目標を尊重しなければならない
- Why nearly 9 million small children die every year
Progress has been made on cutting the death toll among children under-5, but a major new study shows that 8.8 million children are still dying and the Millennium Development Goal on child mortality will not be met without more work, particularly among women in childbirth and their babies.Most of the deaths of children under-5 worldwide are from infectious illnesses, with pneumonia (18%) as the leading cause, followed by diarrhoea (15%) and then malaria (8%). This is the conclusion of a major statistical exercise undertaken by Professor Robert Black from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore and colleagues, funded by the WHO and Unicef and published in the Lancet, here.The study is important because it gives us up-to-date information on the numbers of child deaths - 8.8 million under-5s die every year, they say - and the causes. And it is a timely marker. As the authors point out:Achievement of Millennium Development Goal 4, to reduce child mortality by two-thirds, is only possible if the high numbers of deaths are addressed by maternal, newborn, and child health interventions.Some progress has been made in bringing down the numbers of deaths among toddlers and young children, which has meant that the proportion among babies less than 28 days old is now larger than before, at 41% of the total. And this is where the spotlight again shifts to maternity care. Pre-term birth complications account for 12% of all under-5 deaths, birth asphyxia for 9% and sepsis for 6%.To nobody's surprise, Africa has the largest number of deaths, at 4.2 million a year, followed by Asia, with 2.39 million. There were more deaths in older children in Africa than than in southeast Asia, because of HIV and malaria.Almost half of all the deaths under the age of 5 occurred 進捗状況は、歳未満の子供5死亡者数を削減、しかし主要な新しい研究によると880万子供たちがまだ子供の死亡率のミレニアム開発目標を死んでいる行われている多くの作業なしに、特に女性の間で出産に会ったされません子供たちの死の下- 5世界のそのbabies.Mostは伝染病から、肺炎（18％）の主要な原因として、下痢（15％）し、マラリア（8％）続いている

But are we any closer to eradicating the disease? And how well are we doing in combating malaria in Africa, which has some of the highest infection and mortality rates in the world?Ahead of World Malaria Day next month, Prof Awa Marie Coll-Seck, executive director of the Roll Back Malaria partnership, will be live online on the Katine Chronicles blog at 1pm (GMT) on Thursday, 4 March, to answer your questions about the fight against the disease.The Roll Back Malaria campaign was launched in 1998 by the World Health Organisation, Unicef, the United Nations Development Programme and the World Bank to promote a coordinated fight against the disease, which accounts for 85% of deaths in children under five.The goal of the partnership is to halve the world's malaria burden by the end of this year. According to the partnership, there are around 247 million cases of malaria each year – 212 million of them occur in Africa. Globally, the disease kills around 881,000 people a year – 801,0000 in Africa.Uganda has the third highest number of deaths from malaria in the world. In Katine, the African Medical and Research Foundation (Amref) has been distributing insecticide treated bednets to families in a bid to prevent infection, but access to the right drugs for treatment is a problem.Coll-Seck is a professor of infectious diseases and an expert in public health and tropical medicine.
