About UN Perspectives

Understanding global perspectives on UN decisions through volunteer translation

Our Mission

UN Perspectives is dedicated to examining how different countries and media outlets report on United Nations involvement in global conflicts. Through our network of volunteer translators, we provide English-speaking audiences with access to diverse international perspectives that are often lost in translation.

By presenting these varied viewpoints side by side, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of how cultural, political, and historical contexts shape the way international events are perceived and reported around the world.

How We Work

Article Collection

We identify and collect articles from diverse international news sources covering the same UN-related events, ensuring representation from multiple countries and perspectives.

Volunteer Translation

Our volunteer translators of all ages are dedicated to our mission of unveiling bias in the UN. They translate articles while preserving the original tone, context, and cultural nuances.

Perspective Analysis

We present translated articles alongside their original context, allowing readers to compare and understand how the same events are perceived differently across cultures.

Our Values

Neutrality & Objectivity

We present perspectives without editorial bias, allowing readers to form their own understanding of complex international issues.

Cultural Sensitivity

Our volunteer translators ensure that cultural context and nuances are preserved in every translation, respecting the original intent and meaning.

Transparency

We provide full attribution to original sources, authors, and our volunteer translators, maintaining complete transparency in our process.

Educational Purpose

Our goal is education and understanding, not advocacy. We believe informed global citizens make better decisions about international affairs.
