To maintain international peace and security, develop friendly relations among nations, achieve international cooperation, and serve as a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations.
Details
The United Nations (UN) is the world's largest international organization. The UN is headquartered in New York City, in international territory with certain privileges extraterritorial to the United States, and the UN has other offices in Geneva, Nairobi, Vienna, and The Hague, where the International Court of Justice is headquartered at the Peace Palace.
Cities
The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) is mandated by the UN General Assembly to promote socially and environmentally sustainable towns and cities. UN-Habitat is the focal point for all urbanization and human settlement matters within the UN system.
UN-Habitat works with partners to build inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable cities and communities. UN-Habitat promotes urbanization as a positive transformative force for people and communities, reducing inequality, discrimination and poverty.
in 2022 UN-Habitat published a cities report "Envisaging the Future of Cities"
Open Source
In July 2024 the UN hosted the "OSPOs for Good 2024" conference. This event provided a rich global presence of diverse open source thinkers, with bigger ambitions and strides for championing OSPOs as a global network for good.
By building on the success of the first OSPOs for Good event in 2023 the 2024 event, the goal of the 2024 conference delivered high-level thematic tracks that addressed key areas of open source policy, as well as highlighting emerging examples of ‘open source for good’ from across the globe. It prominently highlighted the theme of ‘open source networks as enablers of global cooperation’.
This conference expanded the scope of last year's event to focus on how the conversation around OSPOs is enabling new forms of global cooperation around open source for good in countries. The two days were recorded and these recordings are here:
