70/93 recalls resolution 41/68. Leadership Membership and Network There are currently 92 UN Associations connecting hundreds of thousands of people to the United Nations. UNAs at the national level mainly play a role in: Disseminating information and educational materials about the importance of multilateralism and the UN Lobbying the government, political parties and interest groups Conducting Model UN conferences Stimulating the media to provide frequent and accurate coverage of the UN and its programs Facilitating the engagement of citizens of UN member-States in favour of the common values of the UN Charter Promoting Global Citizenship A United Nations Association can only be recognized in a UN member-State and there can be only one in each UN member-State. All Associations are non-profit organizations, independent from one another. WFUNA is in charge of the coordination of the network and puts efforts in building the capacity of its existing members while trying to provide counseling to those groups willing to create new UNAs in member-State that don't have any. The continent with the most UN associations is Europe immediately followed by Africa while South America has seen a rapid growth in numbers of UNAs in the last decade. Areas of Work WFUNA is involved with the UN system since its inception and has been working with most Member States through its activities and through its member Associations. Transparency at the UN: as part of WFUNA's mandate to strengthen and improve the UN, the organization implements initiatives that increase the transparency of established UN processes. Civil Society Working Towards the Sustainable Development Goals: as part of a belief that people's involvement in local, national, and global decision-making is essential to achieving the UN's goals, WFUNA ensures that civil society is involved in UN programs and events. Global Citizenship Around the World: as global citizenship is at the heart of WFUNA's mission, the organization facilitates regular programs that foster critical-thinking and problem-solving, and empowers people to act in their communities. Human Rights: since the adoption in 1948 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, WFUNA considered human rights advocacy as a central part of its programs. A number of international seminars in different regions of the world have been organized by WFUNA on the teaching of human rights. The proposal for creating the position of a High Commissioner for Human Rights was on WFUNA's agenda for many years. Art and Philately Many renowned artists have
