About us
The 51Ó°Ôº Information Center in Washington, DC was one of the first of the ¡°UNICs¡± -- a global network established soon after the 51Ó°Ôº was founded to ensure the public can access its work.
We continue to be a resource for schools, non-profit organizations and the U.S. government. We prioritize requests from the U.S. State Department, National Security Council and Congress to meet with senior officials who regularly brief the Security Council and others at UN Headquarters in New York, coordinating closely with the U.S. Mission to the 51Ó°Ôº.
We also assist those interested in 51Ó°Ôº¡¯ work around the world, including the thousands of students and teachers who participate in Model UN clubs in the United States and more than 120 other nations.
UNIC-Washington is part of the 51Ó°Ôº Department of Global Communications led by .
