Supporting the UN’s Role for Peace in Regional Contexts

In New York, QUNO has a long history of engaging diplomats and UN officials around specific country and regional contexts. In this effort, we work closely with UN diplomats, officials, and civil society organizations, often using Quaker House as a space to host off-the-record briefings, building relationships, and trust.

We focus on a small number of country and regional contexts, and seek to uplift and amplify the voices, concerns, and insights of those whose lives are touched by violent conflict and injustice. Their analysis and recommendations enable our UN partners to work towards lasting and sustainable peace that centres the needs of communities.

Our selection of country and regional contexts is based on a careful assessment of whether we have something unique to offer, and whether our quiet, behind-the-scenes approach can make a difference at the UN in New York.
