Who Named UNICEF?

Published in UN Organization 1 min read

The United Nations General Assembly named UNICEF.

The official name, United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF), was established by resolution 57(I) of the United Nations General Assembly on 11 December 1946. This resolution formally created the organization and gave it its official title.

It's important to note that while UNICEF is now widely known by its acronym, its full name reflects its original purpose as an emergency fund for children after World War II. The decision to name it the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund came directly from the United Nations General Assembly, making them the official entity responsible for its name.
