United Nations Information Organization

"UNIO was established by the Inter-Allied Information Committee in New York as the Inter-Allied Information Center in 1940. In 1942, it became the United Nations Information Office, and in 1944, together with a parallel information center in London, it became the United Nations Information Organization. When the United Nations Conference on International Organization convened in San Francisco in 1945, UNIO became its official information organ. In 1946, UNIO was absorbed into the United Nations Secretariat's Dept. of Public Information."
