Members' Forum: The 'A' in UNA
Our new members' forum, The 'A' in UNA, features contributions by UNA-UK members on a wide range of UN issues. It also serves as a tool for members to report on branch and regional events. The name of the forum, The 'A' in UNA, is taken from a regular members' section in UNA-UK's former flagship magazine 'United Nations News' in the 1950s.
UNA-UK hopes that this forum will enable members from across the UK to exchange views, and that these contributions will stimulate public debate in support of a strong, credible and effective UN.
Only members of UNA-UK, our youth wing UNYSA and Young Professionals Network can submit contributions. Click here to join!
