The United Nations Information Centre (UNIC) in Beirut is one of 63 offices around the world which constitute branch offices of the United Nations Department of Public Information (UNDPI).

UNIC-Beirut was established on 7 September 1962 further to General Assembly Resolution 13 (1) of 13 February 1946, which called on UNDPI to establish branch offices in all parts of the world.

The mandate of UNDPI is to promote an informed understanding of the work, principles and the purposes of the United Nations among the peoples of the world through various outreach efforts and campaigns. The Department provides information and produces materials on United Nations global activities such as peacekeeping and international security, economic, social and cultural development, human rights and humanitarian issues, education, population, drug trafficking and other issues. It also provides information on the proceedings of the United Nations principal organs, the General Assembly and its various bodies and the Security Council. In carrying out these functions, DPI works closely with other Secretariat departments as well as all UN organizations. DPI also administers the Office of the Spokesman for the Secretary-General (OSSG).

UNIC-Beirut serves Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Kuwait, and maintains close ties with the rest of the United Nations family in Lebanon.
