Who is the United Nations Association of the United States of America (UNA-USA) & Who Are Their Sponsors?

WKOG admin: If you are still among the disillusioned who believe that the United Nation’s is key to “saving” humanity and solving our multiple global crisis, we hope the following “strategic alliance” (their words) may awaken you from your slumber. In fact, this elite NGO is located within the UN premises. Not in the secretariat building itself, rather, UNA-USA is located on the opposite side of the street, also secured by UN security. Never has it been so blatant, that the United Nations has morphed into nothing more than an instrumental tool for the Imperialist states and corporate oligarchy.

From the UNA-USA website:

“In 2010, UNA-USA formed a strategic alliance with the UN Foundation. Under the new alliance UNA-USA continued as a robust membership program of the UN Foundation. Together, UNA-USA and the UN Foundation are pooling their talents to increase public education and advocacy on the work of the UN. UNA- USA works closely with the UN Foundation’s sister organization, the Better World Campaign, whose mission is also to strengthen the U.S.-UN relationship.”

From the site:

Sponsors

UNA-USA is able to build stronger links between the US and the UN due to the enthusiastic support of our individual and institutional donors.

 

Thanks to their commitment, UNA-USA is able to educate thousands of young students around the world about global issues; press Congress to strengthen ties between the US and the UN; ensure that the US signs the Convention on Cluster Munitions and advocate for full US support for the International Criminal Court.

 

We invite you to learn more about some of the institutions that have recently supported UNA-USA and its programs and campaigns. For a full list of individual and institutional donors, please see our Annual Report.
