The United Nations Information Centres (UNIC) were established in 1946, headquartered in New York, United States. Spread across 63 countries worldwide. The centres operated in 63 countries until their restructuring in 2018, when the UN consolidated their communications functions under the Department of Global Communications. The department supervised and approved development initiatives, with a primary focus on thematic campaigns on United Nations-related issues that were distributed through regional information centres.
