UNYSA ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2009

This year's UNYSA Annual Conference was hosted by Kingston UNYSA branch. The event was a huge success with members attending from all over the UK to hear speeches by Thomas Nash, Coordinator for the Cluster Munition Coalition; Tim Kellow, UNA-UK Head of Peace & Security Programme and Natalie Samarasinghe UNA-UK Head of Communications. The conference was a great opportunity for members from around the country to meet, network and learn more about the UN, UNYSA and UNA-UK.
