Armenians with the UN gather in New York City

“How are Armenians involved with the United Nations today?” This question was the focus of an unusual, if not overdue, forum held on May 15, 2026, at Fordham University in New York City, with 30 Armenians who serve in diverse parts of the United Nations.

In addition to the Armenian Mission to the United Nations since 1992, more than 100 talented Armenians are now scattered throughout the sprawling U.N. system — its member states, agencies such as UNICEF and WHO, and its 6,657 ECOSOC-recognized nongovernmental organizations.
