About Permanent Mission of Spain to the United Nations
Based in New York, the Permanent Mission of Spain to the United Nations represents a longstanding commitment to multilateral diplomacy and international cooperation. Since Spain's historic entry into the United Nations on December 14, 1955, the mission has served as a vital bridge between Spain and the global community, advancing Spanish values and interests within the world's premier forum for international dialogue. The mission embodies Spain's dedication to the founding principles and purposes of the UN Charter, working alongside 192 other nations to address challenges that affect all people, from environmental sustainability to human rights protection and peaceful conflict resolution. Through active participation in UN meetings and events, the mission contributes to the organization's oversight and effectiveness while championing Spanish perspectives on issues of global significance. Over the decades, Spain and the United Nations have grown together, with the mission facilitating the development of a robust Spanish presence throughout UN agencies and departments. This deep institutional relationship reflects Spain's enduring commitment to the values enshrined in the San Francisco Charter and its belief in the power of multilateral cooperation to create positive change on the world stage.
