United Nations Information Centres
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United Nations Information Centres (UNIC) were established in 1946, headquartered in New York, USA.[2] Spread across 63 countries worldwide.[3] These centers facilitate the exchange and sharing of current global events on behalf of the United Nations. Under the management of the Department of Global Communications within the UN Secretariat, UNICs are pivotal in communicating the organization's challenges. The Department of Global Communications oversees and sanctions all developmental initiatives, primarily concentrating on thematic campaigns promoting UN-related concerns, subsequently distributed through regional information centers.[4]
