Our membership of the UN has been central to Ireland’s foreign policy since we joined in 1955. The principles and values enshrined in the UN Charter are those we have always striven to promote.
Our Mission promotes Ireland’s development priorities at the UN. We engage with other governments, international organisations and civil society to ensure more effective development.
Through the UN, Ireland offers its distinctive contribution to building sustainable peace and resolving conflict abroad.
Human rights are central to Ireland’s foreign policy. We champion the vital UN role on human rights.
