The poster asks "UN: what's in it for you?" and answers with a series of small scenes: weather warnings, locust control, inoculations, monitoring of ocean pollution, new grain varieties, and international food purity standards. Its argument is that UN programs touch ordinary American life, not only foreign affairs. The poster is dated between 1965 and 1980, a period when the organization's technical agencies were expanding their work, and it presents that work as practical, everyday service.
