New York
Supporting the UN’s Role for Peace Globally
QUNO New York seeks to strengthen member states’ understanding of and commitment to important concepts that build what has been called Positive Peace. Peace in this view requires the presence of social justice, equity, and systems that support sustainable peace and is distinguished from a Negative Peace which is the absence of direct violence or war.
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.
Supporting the UN to Build Peaceful and Just Societies with Inclusive Institutions
QUNO works towards implementing the UN’s 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which comprise a global action plan for people, planet, prosperity, and peace through partnership.
