I did something like they 1) they help stop disputes from escalating into war
And 2) act as mediators working with governments to resolve conflicts that have risen

[teletubbies_95]

I wrote:
1) assists countries implement legislation for peace keeping and peace building
2) implementation of the UN Security council to negotiate and make decisions for peace and security

And then I explained how assists countries implement legislation ,such as the UN helping the Syrian government implement legislation related to weapons and implementation of security systems, thus decreasing the incidence of injuries due to gun woulds and artilitary , caused by conflict.

What'd you guys do for the HDI one? Did you explain WHY HDI increased?

Just say you used life expectancy. Did you say that the HDI was higher in ___ as they had a higher life expectancy (worded better w/ data), but did you explain WHY they have a higher life expectancy?

If they wanted to be really pedantic they could say that you could get a mark only if you said "life expectancy AT BIRTH" . But I don't think they will be that mean
I said :
Life expectancy at birth (indicator of health)
Australia has a higher life expectancy , which can be contributed through many factors such as more opportunities of healthcare and education , compared to life expectancy at birth in developing countries , who may have lesser opportunities of healthcare , education and income.
