Autonomous Institution

The United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) was established on the basis of a General Assembly resolution of December 1963 as an autonomous institution within the framework of the United Nations for the purpose of enhancing, by the performance of its training and research functions, the effectiveness of the United Nations in achieving the major objectives of the Organization, in particular the maintenance of peace and security and the promotion of economic and social development. A large part of the Institute's training and research activities is, therefore, meant to respond to the needs of the developing countries, including those in Africa, either directly or through the improvement of the United Nations capabilities for this purpose.

Nations Development

The United Nations is approaching a point where a decision must soon be reached concerning the expansion of its present facilities. Notwithstanding the increases which have been made in delegate seating in the General Assembly Hall, the Council chambers, and the conference rooms in recent years, these are now filled almost to capacity as additional political entities have been accorded membership. The delegates' lounge and dining room are uncomfortably crowded during Assembly sessions. In the Secretariat the staffs of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF), and the UN Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) have been moved to rented quarters in order to relieve overcrowding and to obtain adequate working space. The Secretary-General has reported to the General Assembly that the Headquarters buildings are now “completely occupied” and that plans must be made to provide adequate office space for the personnel expected to be on hand in the 1970's, assuming that the United Nations continues to remain an active force in international affairs.
