Who we are

The United Nations Association Coventry Branch is affiliated to the United Nations Association UK (UNA-UK). We are not part of the United Nations.

We organise events where members of the public can find out about the United Nations and discuss international issues with experts. We also run a number of other programmes to promote UN-related issues to specific audiences.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

How long we retain your data
