1. What it offers the UN:

"Resolves that the United Nations, acting through the Secretary-General, his Special Representative, and the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq, should strengthen its vital role in Iraq, including by providing humanitarian relief, promoting the economic reconstruction of and conditions for sustainable development in Iraq, and advancing efforts to restore and establish national and local institutions for representative government"

ie 'please provide humanitarian relief, promote economic reconstruction (but that's still under the control of the CPA, including contracts), and help get elections going'. In return, please provide soldiers and money. Doesn't looked much changed from the last one, to me.
