Thailand is a strong supporter of the United Nations. It has contributed to UN peacekeeping operations and has ratified a range of UN human rights, labour and environment conventions and treaties. Over 25 UN agencies are based in Bangkok, and many agencies maintain regional centres in Bangkok, from which they support operations across Asia. Those UN agencies with programmes in Thailand make up the United Nations Country Team (UNCT), led by the UN Resident Coordinator. The team works together to analyse country issues, plan strategies, implement programmes, monitor results and advocate for change. These initiatives aim at being a more effective and efficient development partner to the Royal Thai Government in support to the achieving of the Millennium Development Goals and the UN global agenda.
