'New World Order' website using UN branding is not official
Website using United Nations branding with the "New World Order" tagline is not an official UN site
(Reuters) - A website using United Nations branding with the slogan “New World Order” is not a legitimate UN initiative, as a viral video claims, but an independent third-party campaign.
The clip seen by more than 10,000 users on social media here claims the United Nations “New World Order” website is “official”.
A male voice over guides viewers through the “unnwo.org” site, including an “about” page stating that the “United Nations New World Order Project is a global, high-level initiative founded in 2008 to advance a new economic paradigm, a new political order, and more broadly, a new world order for humankind ...”
The website, however, is not a genuine United Nations page.
The UN did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment, but the Office of the Spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General said in a May 2020 press briefing that the website “is in no way sanctioned by the United Nations” (here).
A “general notice” on the site unnwo.org/ reads: “The United Nations New World Order Project is an independent global initiative campaigning for a new world order at the United Nations, and worldwide.
“The views expressed herein are solely those of the United Nations New World Order Project, and do not reflect the views of the United Nations, or any other entity.”
The official website of the UN can be seen at the address “un.org” www.un.org/en/ .
VERDICT
False. A website using United Nations branding with the “New World Order” tagline is not an official UN site.
