Abstract:

The European Union has always been a staunch supporter of the United Nations and cooperation between them covers all policy areas. The Union is not a member of the UN but it enjoys the special status of an ‘enhanced observer’ at the General Assembly. The purpose of this article is to analyse the principal means whereby EU representation is implemented at the United Nations. The present research is conducted on the basis of a review and systematisation of the most recent oral and written statements made by the EU at the UN with the main purpose of highlighting trends and analysing their significance for the EU’s representation at the UN and for the Union’s foreign policy practice.
