UNFSU

Internationally recruited staff in these Field Operations are automatically members of the UNFSU, unless otherwise desirous.

The UNFSU works to protect international United Nations staff rights through information sharing and working with our various partners to ensure that those rights are respected. The United Nations Field Staff Union (UNFSU) defends the rights and supports the welfare and well-being of Internationally recruited United Nations staff, who are assigned to and work in UN Field Entities. These entities i

nclude the UN Peacekeeping operations, Special Political Missions, UNDSS staff in Field Entities, international staff of the UN Resident Coordinators offices, and any other UN Field Entities. WHAT WE DO

We support the local UNFSU Committees, by engaging our committees through dialogue, training, accountability, and performance management. Ensuring that staff representatives are well informed through active two-way engagement activities, ensuring they are empowered and have the required advocacy skills to support their members. We also work in close contact with staff and management in the missions and facilitate the establishment of local committees in the missions with no formal staff representation in place. We advocate for staff and the issues affecting them, reviewing policies and our conditions of service to ensure that reform and restructuring do not result in deterioration and inconveniencing of field personnel and also ensure that the interests of the staff are taken into consideration before decisions that directly impact the staff’s conditions of employment, welfare, and wellbeing. We engage our members and other stakeholders through various communication platforms and social media channels, (i.e., Yammer, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter) that facilitate this process and provide information on key issues affecting international UN field staff. These platforms and communication channels provide a direct and engaging forum to express their opinions, propose solutions, and highlight problems, inefficiencies, discrimination, abuse, and lack of accountability. We safeguard staff rights by reaching out to the UN Field entity leaderships to address the subjective interpretation of Staff Rules and Regulations, including the recent COVID-19 guidelines. We consult with staff on their personal specific cases and serve as a mediator or support in discussion with managers and supervisors. Advising staff on legal mechanisms of UN internal System of Justice facilitated by a team of legal experts. Serve as a reference point to connect staff with needed resources like the Regional service centers, Ombudsman’s office, OSLA, etc. At the organizational level, the UNFSU Executive participates in various high-level staff-management consultative mechanisms such as the Staff Management Committee (SMC) as well as through the UNISERV federation in governance entities such as the Chief Executive Board’s High-Level Committee on Management (HLCM) and some of its subsidiaries such as the Inter-Agency Security Management Network (IASMN) the Human Resources Network (HRN), as well as ICSC and some of its working groups, etc.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Please take a moment to watch this one-minute video in celebration of UN Day:

On 24 October, we celebrate United Nations Day, marking the entry into force of the UN Charter in 1945.This year, as we commemorate 80 years of the United Nations, we honor the collective hope and determination that built this Organization. Across our missions and offices, your dedication brings the Charter to life, protecting lives, advancing human rights, and responding to global crises.

We also pay tribute to our fallen and injured colleagues, and to the families who continue to support our service. Even as the UN faces financial constraints and a world in turmoil, marked by conflict, inequality, and climate change, it remains humanity’s greatest platform for dialogue, cooperation, and peace.

The United Nations embodies our shared belief that peace, development, and human rights are not privileges but universal values. As we look ahead, let us renew our commitment to integrity, professionalism, and solidarity. In these challenging times, it is our unity and unwavering sense of purpose that keep the spirit of the United Nations alive.

Thank you for your selfless service, and for your belief in the timeless mission of the United Nations.

Wishing you all a Happy United Nations Day.

Best regards,

Milan Victor Dawoh
