Founded at the end of the Second World War, the United Nations is an international organization made up of 193 Member States committed to maintaining international peace and security.
Every day the UN works to tackle global challenges and deliver results for those most in need.
Giving life-saving support to populations hit by humanitarian crises, helping build and keep the peace in conflict-ridden areas, supporting governments and their citizens to advance development and fight poverty, and promoting human rights worldwide are the core pillars of the work of the United Nations and the mandates it receives from its Member States.

New Zealand Police is the lead agency responsible for reducing crime and enhancing community safety. With over 15,000 staff, we provide policing services 24 hours a day and function from 371 community-based police stations around the country.
We operate by land, sea and air, and respond to more than 600,000 emergency 111 calls each year.
Safer Communities Together.
We help small businesses, employers and employees by providing information, advice, training, conciliation and other services that prevent or resolve workplace problems.
Whether you’re an employer who wants to make sure they’re following employment law and good practice, or an employee who wants to understand your rights at work, we can help. There’s no charge for most of what we offer.
We support good relationships between employers and employees which help organisations to thrive. And when there’s a dispute we help by providing conciliation to resolve workplace problems.
We aren’t on anyone’s side - we tell you the facts. Our expertise is based on millions of contacts with employers and employees each year. Acas experts often write the codes that people must follow in the workplace.
All of this adds up to Acas providing excellent value for money - for every £1 of taxpayers’ money which Acas spends, there is at least £12 benefit to the economy.
