The UIA is largely shaped by its Active Members who are encouraged to take on an active role in what we do. Besides promoting the work of the UIA in their professional networks and fields, all Active Members are asked to participate in the bi-annual General Assembly as the UIA’s main controlling body.
Active Members are admitted to the UIA without distinction of nationality, race, sex or creed, and irrespective of ideological, political or professional commitment, upon proposal by the UIA’s governing Council and acceptance by the General Assembly in a transparent and democratic process. There are no fees involved. Active Membership is an honorary and – we trust – honorable position.
Our Active Members include diplomats, international civil servants, association executives, professors of international relations and directors of foundations who share the UIA’s vision of a global civil society based on the values of cooperation, peace, security and sustainability and, in their respective spheres of activity, bolster the UIA’s efforts towards this end.
