Welcome

****The Australian Mission to the UN in New York and the Alcoa Foundation will host a series of events exploring and celebrating our Indigenous culture from 7 - 11 July, 2008.  For more information about our events click here****

The Australian Mission to the United Nations in New York is one of four posts representing Australia's interests in the United Nations system. The other posts are in Geneva, Vienna and Nairobi.

The Mission pursues Australia’s interests in the UN through advocacy of our views and promotion of our interests by negotiating with other member states to advance Australia’s foreign policy objectives.

On 30 March 2008, the Prime Minister, the Hon Mr Kevin Rudd MP, announced that Australia would seek a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council for the 2013-2014 term.
