UNA-USA is not part of the United Nations; however, it is one of the largest nonpartisan, 501 c 3, research and membership based foreign policy associations in the US dedicated to a discussion of international-local issues and the role of the UN in helping to resolve these problems.
Mr. Miller, an international relations specialist, has written numerous articles on the United Nations for newspapers, such as the Lexington-Herald Leader, ASPA’s PA Times and Washington International.
