The United Nations Association

​

The United Nations Association, London and South East Region (UNA LASER) is a democratic organisation covering about 30 local and university branches of UNA-UK, the country’s foremost advocate for UK actions at the UN and a critical friend of the UN system. LASER works with UNA-UK to support our branches in their local activities; we organise regional meetings and campaigns on issues of current concern in the UN system. We believe that a strong, credible and effective UN is essential if we are to build a safer, fairer, more peaceful and more sustainable world, and we advocate strong UK government action to strengthen the UN.

Our Refugee & Asylum Co-ordinator is involved in a wide range of activities such as welcoming new arrivals, providing support and giving advice and recommendations to improve their situation to hotels, projects and government agencies working with refugees and asylum seekers.
