UN Dispatch

Issue Area: UN-US Relations

We launched the blog UN Dispatch in 2005 to inject the United Nations into the growing online conversation about America’s involvement in the international arena. UN Dispatch has grown exponentially and is now a leading voice in the foreign policy blogosphere, regularly partnering with other top blogs for high-level online discussions, reporting live from the UN and drawing guest posts from both thought leaders and people on the ground engaging in the good work of the UN.

  • »Poverty: Combating the Global Crisis
    Promoting international economic growth and improving people’s quality of life have long stood as pillars of American foreign policy. Unfortunately, nearly half of the world’s population does not share the benefits of growing global prosperity as almost 3 billion people are living in poverty and earning less than $2 a day. The next U.S. Administration should make eliminating absolute poverty a top-line priority and should work with the rest of the world to combat it immediately and effectively.
