A United Nations address refers to a speech or statement delivered at the United Nations (UN), an intergovernmental organization established on October 24, 1945, to promote international cooperation and peace. These addresses are typically given by heads of state, government officials, or other dignitaries during high-level meetings, such as the annual General Assembly session. The purpose of a UN address is to communicate a country's stance on global issues, advocate for international policies, or highlight specific national concerns. In Hebrew, the United Nations is known as האומות המאוחדות (HaUmot HaMeuḥadot), and a UN address can be translated as נאום באומות המאוחדות. Similarly, in French, it is referred to as une adresse aux Nations Unies, and in Spanish, it is una dirección a las Naciones Unidas. Key contextual information includes the fact that the UN General Assembly, where many of these addresses are delivered, serves as a forum for multilateral discussion and is one of the six main organs of the United Nations.
