UNITED NATIONS ASSOCIATION - UK

UNA-UK supports the aims of the United Nations: poverty eradication, conflict resolution, sustainable development and human rights for all. As the country's leading source of independent information on the UN, we seek to build a better understanding of the challenges facing the world and how to address them, through research, public information, educational resources, and outreach.
