Universal Postal Union
The Universal Postal Union (UPU), a United Nations specialized agency with 192 member countries, is the global standard‑setter for international mail and parcels. Founded in 1874, it periodically convenes its member states for Congress to set policies, elect leadership, adopt strategies, and address global postal challenges—from e‑commerce to climate action.
