Abstract
This chapter provides some background information on the UN system as a whole. To speak simply of the United Nations (UN) can be misleading, because the term can refer to a number of different things. It can refer to a set of countries, to a specific set of institutional structures located in New York City and Geneva, or to the entire set of institutional structures that come under the administrative purview of the UN headquarters. More broadly, it can refer to what is known as the “UN system,” which encompasses a large group of IOs, many of which are not in any way within the administrative hierarchy of the UN headquarters. This chapter explains how these various institutions relate to one another.
