The policy department supports the organization’s core activities by collecting, generating and sharing information and ideas about the UN and foreign-policy choices facing the member governments, especially the United States. The policy department also leverages UNA’s resources to convey meetings to provide a nonpartisan forum for policy makers and opinion leaders to generate new ideas that promote and reinforce cooperation among governments, civil society and businesses.
In addition, the policy department organizes the Annual Summer Study Program in partnership with the John C. Whitehead School of Diplomacy and International Relations; coordinates UNA’s multifaceted Leo Nevas Program on Human Rights; and manages a nuclear non-proliferation Initiative.
