At the beginning of 2009, the United Nations Association of the USA (UNA-USA) released a new blueprint for improving America’s role in the world and strengthening U.S.-UN relations.

The 2009 Advocacy Agenda outlines the Association’s policy priorities and provides concrete outcome goals for each issue, as well as specific actions that UNA-USA members and leaders can take to help promote the Agenda.

The 2009 Advocacy Agenda covers the following six priority issues:

  1. Strengthening the U.S.-UN Relationship

  2. Advancing Human Rights and International Justice 

  3. Renewing the United Nations

  4. Building International Consensus on Climate Change

  5. Achieving the Millennium Development Goals

  6. Promoting Arms Control and Disarmament


The Board-approved Advocacy Agenda was developed through consultations with a number of UNA-USA groups, including chapters and divisions from around the country, the Council of Organizations, and the National Council.

With a changed political landscape that includes a new administration and many new members of Congress, there are numerous opportunities for educating policymakers about the importance of working collaboratively through a strong United Nations to find effective solutions to today’s shared global problems.

  To find out how to take advantage of these opportunities, read our 2009 Advocacy Agenda.
