The United Nations (UN) is the most representative international organisation in the world, with 193 member states since its founding in 1945 after the end of World War II. Its main goal was preventing the recurrence of war, promoting international peace and security and sustainable development, protecting human rights, upholding international law and providing humanitarian assistance.

His Highness the Amir's commitment to attending the annual sessions of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) emphasises Qatar's dedication to its international responsibilities and the positive image of Qatar and its people, as well as its civilizational and humanitarian role regarding various global issues and challenges as well as towards friendly and brotherly peoples.

His Highness the Amir's speeches at the United Nations convey numerous local, Arab, international, and humanitarian messages, affirming that Qatar has been and will continue to safeguard rights, uphold commitments, aid those in need, support the oppressed, stand for truth and justice, respect neighbours' rights, and adhere to values and ethics. Additionally, Qatar presents a bright model of a secure and stable state capable of achieving high development rates and providing the highest standards of living for its people and residents.
