Here, we express our gratitude to all those who have contributed to the creation of this book. We would like to thank the management of the Institute of History at the ELTE Research Centre for the Humanities for providing excellent professional and working conditions for the preparation of this volume, and the scientific information department for its conscientious and highly professional preparation of the publication. The ELTE Centre for Social Sciences, a partner in the work of the “Hungary and the UN Research Group” initiated by the ELTE Research Centre for the Humanities under a cooperation agreement, contributed to the creation of this volume through the participation of its staff in the preparation of the book as authors, reviewers and editors. The Committee of National Remembrance also supported the publication of the volume, both financially and through the professional participation of one of the co-editors. We also gratefully acknowledge the financial support provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Hungary, which contributed to the publication of this volume. We are further grateful to the reviewers of the volume: Péter Apor, Anna Dalos, André Erdős, Tamás Hoffmann, Miklós Hollán, Borbála Juhász, János Kemény, Janka Kovács, Szilvia Köbel, Ágnes Lux, András Nagy, Mária Palasik, Zsuzsanna Polyák, Katalin Szabó, Nóra Szekér, Dóra Vargha and Péter Wagner.

The cooperative attitude of the staff of the numerous domestic and foreign archives that preserve the sources we have used greatly advanced our work. We would like to express our special thanks to Gyöngyi Bubik, foreign affairs referent at the National Archives of Hungary.

The structure of the volume reflects the aim of presenting certain chapters in the history of relations between Hungary and the United Nations from multiple perspectives, organised by thematic focus and chronological period. The authors of the studies come from the fields of history, international relations, law, diplomatic history and military science, thus providing a multidisciplinary approach to the volume.
