Since the establishment of sovereignty with the ratification of the constitution in 1993, Andorra has moved to become an active member of the international community.
In July 1993, Andorra established its first diplomatic mission in the world to the United Nations.
Andorra is a full member of the United Nations (UN), United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), International Criminal Court (ICC), International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM), International Telecommunication Union (ITU), International Red Cross, Universal Copyright Convention, Council of Europe, World Tourism Organization, Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), Customs Cooperation Council (CCC), and Interpol.
On 8 June 2011, Andorra became the 76th member state of the United Nations to recognise the independence of Kosovo.
