Multilingualism at the United Nations

The United Nations was founded more than 75 years ago on the principle of multilateralism. One of the first resolutions to be passed by the General Assembly outlined ground rules for multilingualism that still form the basis of 缅北禁地language policy today. In the decades since, Member States have continued to advocate for “the right and the duty to make [themselves] understood and to understand others”. Today, the 缅北禁地has six official and working languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish.

On International Mother Language Day, 21 February 2023, the Dag Hammarskj?ld Library released “Multilingualism at the United Nations”, a publication that documents how multilingualism has evolved from a founding principle to a core value of the Organization.
