OUR COMMITMENT
UNA-USA San Diego is committed to making our world a secure, just and inclusive one through the achievement of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. As stated in our Chapter’s bylaws, our purpose is “to support the principles and vital work of the United Nations” and “to translate[s] the work of the UN into a local context.” UNA San Diego engages the community and its partners in local efforts for global sustainability; the protection of the equal rights of all people everywhere; the provision of social and economic justice; and a commitment to conflict prevention and resolution, and peace. Every year we commemorate the founding of the United Nations on UN Day, October 24th, and we celebrate the role of former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt in the development of the global human rights structure and in finding our Chapter a home in Balboa Park.
