Abstract
The Universal Postal Union (UPU), established in 1874 under the Treaty of Berne to regulate international postal services, became a United Nations specialized agency in 1948. The postal services of its 189 member countries formed the largest physical distribution network in the world, with some 6.2 million postal employees working in more than 700,000 post offices worldwide, handling an annual total of more than 400 billion letters and parcels within nations and 10 billion more internationally. In 1996, UPU continued to promote international collaboration to provide rapid, cost-effective and reliable postal service, to promote postal development in all nations, and to foster closer ties with postal customers.
