U.S. President Barack Obama took his call for world cooperation against terror, climate change, Ebola and a host of other issues to the United Nations today, saying the world stands at a crossroads "between war and peace; between disorder and integration; between fear and hope."

He said world leaders must decide on two defining issues: "Whether the nations here today will be able to renew the purpose of the U.N.'s founding, and whether we will come together to reject the cancer of violent extremism."

His speech comes amid numerous international crises, including the fight against ISIS in Syria and Iraq, lingering tensions in Ukraine and the spread of Ebola in Africa.
