Our Story

The story of UPEACE NY starts 44 years ago with the creation of the University for Peace (UPEACE). Founded in 1980, UPEACE was established with approval from the United Nations General Assembly under UN Resolution 35/55. While UPEACE NY operates separately from UPEACE, the University remains a Permanent Observer Mission to the United Nations.

Since its founding, UPEACE has trained and educated 10,000+ global leaders in peace. UPEACE NY exists by virtue of the tremendous success of the University for Peace — we are proud to support its elevation into more spaces, for more people, facilitating real change across sectors and across the world.
