About Permanent Mission of Ukraine to the United Nations
Since 1945, Ukraine has maintained a significant presence at the United Nations as one of its founding members, with its Permanent Mission headquartered in New York, NY, serving as the bridge between the Ukrainian government and the international community. The Ukrainian delegation played a pivotal role in the San Francisco conference, where it actively contributed to shaping the UN Charter, including coordinating the preparation of the Preamble and the Purposes and Principles that guide the organization today. Based in New York, NY, the Mission reflects Ukraine's deep commitment to strengthening the United Nations as a vital center for addressing humanity's most difficult and complex challenges through collaborative international effort. Ukraine's engagement with the UN system is rooted in a strong commitment to human rights and international law, demonstrated through active participation in the principal organs and consistent support for key human rights instruments and protocols. The Mission embodies Ukraine's values of multilateral cooperation, democratic governance, and the protection of human dignity on the global stage. Through its work in New York, NY, the Permanent Mission of Ukraine continues to honor the nation's founding role in the UN while advancing contemporary priorities that reflect Ukraine's commitment to international peace, security, and human rights protection.
