The UN

'Working together for a better world’. This is the ideology behind the UN. The organisation was founded after two devastating World Wars, and its primary aim is to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war.

The UN General Assembly - our priorities

Here are the instructions for the Norwegian delegation for 78th session of the UN General Assembly (Unga). The UN General Assembly is the world’s most representative multilateral forum for dialogue and policy development. As such, it is a key arena for promoting Norwegian interests, for international cooperation, and for finding solutions to global challenges.

International cooperation; crucial to Norway’s security, economy and prosperity

The rules-based international order is crucial to seek solutions to common challenges.  Multilateral institutions like the UN have played a key role in developing the rules-based international system of cooperation between states. A key goal for Norwegian foreign policy over the coming years is to support binding international cooperation and the multilateral system.
