Read an excerpt from Angelina Jolie’s address to the UN Peacekeeping Ministerial. Then, answer the questions below. 

 “In fact, our support should be strongest where rights are threatened the most. We seem incapable of upholding minimum standards for humanity in many parts of the world. That this comes at a time when humankind is richer and more technologically advanced than ever before is all more painful. Eighteen years ago, when I first began working at United Nation Refugee Agency, there were just 20 million displaced people worldwide and the numbers were falling. Today, there are over 65 million displaced people, and the numbers are rising. More countries are experiencing some form of violent conflicts today than any time thirty years ago. UN peacekeepers now comprise the second largest group of forces deployed overseas and are often required to serve when there is little or no peace to be kept. Against this backdrop, it is easy to dismiss our institutions as flawed or ineffective.”
