ABOUT UNICs

UNICs provide services to the public that range from responding to general inquiries about the United Nations to organizing events commemorating special observances. Journalists, researchers, educators and non-governmental organizations also rely on UNICs for the latest United Nations information materials in local languages. The centres have provided information about the United Nations in more than 80 languages.

UNICs also produce their own publications and newsletters, highlighting the latest news from the United Nations and reports on such global issues as human development, population, health and action against drug trafficking. In addition, some centres also distribute their newsletters electronically or publish online United Nations news summaries in local languages.
