Today marks our 80th anniversary! On 7 June 1945, before the UN charter was finalised, UNA-UK held its first meeting. We have been a leading advocate for the UN ever since. Our mission in 2025 remains the same as it was in 1945: promoting the values of the UN, ensuring strong UK support for the Organization, and advocating ways to make the UN more credible and effective. Over the coming months, we will be sharing archive material, stories and testimonies that document our journey over the last eight decades. (fb)

Ahead of the United Nations's 80th anniversary, the 2025 #PKMinisterial - starting today in Berlin - is a key moment for member states to help shape the future of peacekeeping and enhance the effectiveness of peace operations. The Ministerial will provide a platform for member states to announce pledges in support of closing capability gaps and adapting peace operations to better respond to existing challenges and new realities.
