Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Please take a moment to watch this one-minute video in celebration of UN Day:

On 24 October, we celebrate United Nations Day, marking the entry into force of the UN Charter in 1945.This year, as we commemorate 80 years of the United Nations, we honor ...the collective hope and determination that built this Organization. Across our missions and offices, your dedication brings the Charter to life, protecting lives, advancing human rights, and responding to global crises.

We also pay tribute to our fallen and injured colleagues, and to the families who continue to support our service. Even as the UN faces financial constraints and a world in turmoil, marked by conflict, inequality, and climate change, it remains humanity’s greatest platform for dialogue, cooperation, and peace.

The United Nations embodies our shared belief that peace, development, and human rights are not privileges but universal values. As we look ahead, let us renew our commitment to integrity, professionalism, and solidarity. In these challenging times, it is our unity and unwavering sense of purpose that keep the spirit of the United Nations alive.

Thank you for your selfless service, and for your belief in the timeless mission of the United Nations.

Wishing you all a Happy United Nations Day.

Best regards,

Milan Victor Dawoh

President-United Nations Field Staff Union (UNFSU)

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Just one week ago, we convened an ad hoc SMC meeting. In preparation, our Federation-UNISERV, unanimously agreed that I, as President ...of the UNFSU, would deliver a joint statement on one of the most pressing issues before us: Roster Membership.

During the discussions, every staff federation and union stood united in support of our shared position, firmly opposing management’s unilateral decision to implement the new staff selection policy.

We are collectively challenging this unfair and unlawful move to remove staff from the Roster. This is not only about a policy, it is about protecting your rights, your careers, and the fairness of our system.

I want to extend my sincere gratitude to all of you who have shared your experiences, perspectives, and advice on this matter. Your voices have strengthened our case, and your solidarity has made it clear: We stand together.

Please be assured that I will continue to remain steadfast, constructive, and committed as we navigate this challenge. Together, we will defend what is right and protect the principles that matter to all staff.

With gratitude and solidarity.

Milan Victor Dawoh

We are currently attending the 100th session of the International Civil Service Commission (ICSC), where all Staff Unions and Federations are fully represented.

We will be holding our next Global Town Hall Meeting on 12 August at 2:00 PM (Rome Time).
This session will provide a ...comprehensive update on the outcome of the 100th ICSC meeting, the ongoing liquidity crisis, current budget cuts, and the status of the UN80 initiative.

We would like to draw your attention to the statement delivered by UNISERV at the opening of the session. This statement outlines the unified position of the UNISERV Executive regarding the ICSC, particularly in the context of ongoing liquidity challenges, budget cuts, cost-reduction efforts, and increasing pressure for efficiency reforms. As a reminder, the UNFSU is a member of the UNISERV Staff Federation.

The full statement is available on the UNISERV website: https://uniserv-federation.com/2025/07/30/uniserv-statement-opening-of-the-100th-session-of-the-icsc/

We fully recognize the anxiety and frustration caused by the lack of transparency from management, which has unfortunately led to speculation and misinformation. Please rest assured that the UNFSU Executive remains committed to engaging constructively and providing you with accurate, timely, and reliable updates.

Thank you for your continued trust in the UNFSU Executive. We remain steadfast in our commitment to represent you effectively, and with collective effort and resilience, we will navigate these challenges that will help bring the situation under control.

Best regards,

Milan Victor Dawoh
