Permanent Mission of Armenia to the United Nations
Following Armenia's declaration of independence in 1991, Armenia became a member of the United Nations on 2 March 1992, when the United Nations General Assembly confirmed Armenia's application by the resolution 46/227.[1]
Having accepted the principles of universal values, including human rights protection and democracy as inseparable parts of its state ideology, Armenia has been actively involved in the functions of this global organization and closely cooperates with the numerous bodies and offices of the United Nations.[2]
In 2018, Armenia was elected to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (for the 2019–2023 period), the presidency of which was entrusted to Armenia, and the Permanent Representative of Armenia was elected as the Chair of the 64th and the 65th sessions of the commission for the 2020–2021 period.[3]
Since 1993, the Permanent Mission of Armenia to the United Nations is housed at 119 East 36th Street in Manhattan, New York. In 1993, the building was presented as a gift to the Government of Armenia by Kevork and Sirvart Hovnanian, members of the prominent Hovnanian family known as much for their construction business as their philanthropy in Armenia and the Diaspora. The property became the first to be owned by Armenia abroad.[8]
