United Nations University

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The United Nations University (UNU) is an academic arm of the United Nations established in 1973, which serves purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations. The UNU undertakes research into the pressing global problems of human survival, development and welfare that are the concern of the United Nations and its member states. Despite its university status, it is not a comprehensive all-encompasing educational establishment. The UNU functions as a think tank for the United Nations system and provides a bridge between UN and the international academic and policy-making communities.
