Description
About Us
The QUNO offices in New York and Geneva serve as a Quaker presence at the United Nations, representing Friends concerns at the international level.
Under the auspices of the Friends World Committee for Consultation (FWCC), the Quaker United Nations Offices build contacts with government missions and UN staff, attend relevant UN meetings, collaborate with other non-governmental organizations, and makes oral and written presentations to UN meetings when called upon. FWCC, which links Friends around the world, has had consultative status with the UN's Economic and Social Council as an international non-governmental organization since 1948.
How We Work
QUNO's manner of work is unique in the UN community. Our advocacy is carried out by facilitating informal, open negotiating processes around specific issues and on the linkages between issues. For more details about QUNO’s unique ways of working, click here.
