Universal Postal Union
The Universal Postal Union (UPU, French:
Union postale universelle) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that
coordinates postal policies among member nations, in addition to the worldwide
postal system. The UPU contains four bodies consisting of the Congress, the
Council of Administration (CA), the Postal Operations Council (POC) and the
International Bureau (IB). It also oversees two cooperatives including the
Telematics and EMS Cooperatives respectively. Each member agrees to the same
terms for conducting international postal duties. The UPU’s headquarters are
located in Bern, Switzerland
French is the official language of the
UPU. English was added as a working language in 1994. The majority of the UPU's
documents and publications – including its flagship magazine, Union Postale -
are available in the United Nations' official languages.
