UN Liaison
* As official State Department Visitor NGO to the UN, we attend weekly sessions for NGOs at the UN on global issues and report quarterly to the NCIV.
* A UN Peace Calendar has been produced by the Committee since 1987, when our founder, Ruth Steinkraus-Cohen, created the first one. Thirty-five thousand copies or more are distributed each year to people throughout the world, with the help of other Connecticut UNA members. The Calendar highlights one or more peace initiatives for every day of the year.
* A UN study group meets eight to twelve times throughout the year to discuss current international topics and how they relate to the work of the UN. It is run by Anita Houston, a member of IHC-FC.
* The U Thant Institute was established at the United Nations in 2003 by Aye Aye Thant, a member of IHC-FC, to continue the mission of her father, U Thant, who was UN Secretary General from 1961-71.
* Sponsors UN Day celebrations on October 24th in the towns of Fairfield County
