United Nations Department of Political and International Affairs (United Humanity)

The United Nations Department of Political and International Affairs (DPIA) is a department of the Secretariat of the United Nations (UN) and part of the United Nations Executive with responsibility for monitoring, assessing and shaping political developments on Earth, advising and assisting the Secretary General and his envoys in the prevention and resolution of conflict and disputes around the world.
Established in 1952, the Department is considered one of the most prestigious in the Executive. It is headed by a United Nations Under-Secretary-General, who reports directly to the Secretary-General and is a member of the Executive. Analogous to a Foreign Minister, the Under-Secretary-General serves as the UN Executive's chief diplomat and representative on Earth. The position is currently held by TBD, who was appointed by the General Assembly on recommendation by Secretary-General TBD.
The department manages the UN Diplomatic Corps and 283 diplomatic missions and posts around the globe. DPIA also provides diplomatic training to UN officials and military personnel and oversees electoral and political assistance to Member States of the organization. It provides various services for citizens of Earth, such as issuing passports and visas for international travel. The department's responsibilities also include providing secretariat support to the UN Security Council and two standing committees created by the General Assembly concerning the Rights of Indigenous People and Decolonization. DPIA is based at the UN Headquarters in New York City.
