About the UNIC

The United Nations Information Centre (UNIC) for the Caribbean Area is a field office of the UN Department of Global Communications. Since 1962, we have been delivering information to Caribbean audiences about the global activities of the United Nations.


More about the UNIC

The United Nations is part of everyday life, even when it goes unseen. Marking UN Day on 24 October, this video by the United Nations Information Centre for the Caribbean Area (UNIC Caribbean) follows one ordinary day to show how the ‘Invisible UN’ quietly powers everyday moments.
