Just thought I should add probably one of the most important UN organizations to the list.
ICAO: The international civil aviation organization. If it weren't for them, any international travel would be seriously messed up. This is one of the only ways we can gauruntee that an airline out of Europe you fly is as safe as the one you fly out of the US. ICAO runs the NAT system that all airliners from the US to Europe use as well as the PAC tracks and polar routes that the airlines use. The rules also gauruntee that a new airliner built today conforms with the same safety standards that Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier, and Embraer abide by. It also helps countries negotiate airspace use agreements including the Open Skies treaty we have with Canada as well as ones between the US and pretty much all other countries in the world.
I would say the the UN's major successes are really not often paid attention to because they do what they're supposed to. Just my $0.02.
