U.S. Department Of State Bureau Of International Organization Affairs

The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of International Organization Affairs (IO) develops and implements U.S. policy at the United Nations and in a wide range of other multilateral organizations. With seven diplomatic missions (Geneva, Montreal, Nairobi, New York, Paris, Rome, and Vienna), our mission is to employ multilateral diplomacy as a tool for advancing U.S. interests through a more effective and efficient UN and multilateral system. We work to advance America’s national interests, protect the American people, promote American prosperity and values, and drive necessary reforms. IO has been pivotal in shaping U.S. policies that significantly impact the global stage since the UN’s founding in 1949. IO’s greatest asset is its people—highly skilled diplomats and policy experts who tackle some of the most pressing international issues. Follow our page for updates and opportunities.
