Fair use rationale for Image:UPEACE logo.jpg

Image:UPEACE logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:30, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

"Beautiful"? "State of the art"? Advertising. 190.41.69.240 (talk) 15:16, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I toned down the promotional language. I think the first version may have been written by a staff member or student. The article looks a lot better now (in my humble opinion as the person who edited it...) Accon4 (talk) 17:20, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

his article is misleading the University for Peace is not a United Nations entity and is not a part of the United Nations University. The misuse of the name United Nations University is in violation of UN and United Nations University rights, trademarks and copyright — Preceding unsigned comment added by Happyicecreamcone (talk • contribs) 18:41, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

A previous version made this distinction unclear. I updated the text to reflect that there are multiple universities in the UN system. UNU and UPEACE are different institutions. Accon4 (talk) 20:01, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

this article is better now. the university is affiliated to the united nations and it is accredited, in 2014, by costa rica. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Costari2015 (talk • contribs) 16:53, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Radio For Peace International

There used to be a radio station broadcasting from the University campus. No mention in the article though ? 86.166.74.226 (talk) 18:51, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Diploma mill?

I found this "university" by following the sole educational credentials of a known online mind-control pill peddler. I don't see a real university here. It looks very much like a diploma mill. The one photo of the "campus" is a small office building with a lawn. And their domain name ends with "org" not "edu". 107.77.210.115 (talk) 00:03, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

The university is accredited by Costa Rican authorities and is established by a UN mandate. References are provided in the article.

The use of .edu is uncommon outside the United States and some other countries. (E.g. in my experience, all Dutch universities use a .nl domain.)

The campus is larger than one building.

Can't speak to any mind-control programmes, though.... 😉 Accon4 (talk) 17:19, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

List of programmes

The article currently lists all master's programmes at the university, which does not seem to be the standard for wikipedia pages about universities. Should this be changed, and if so, how? Accon4 (talk) 17:22, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
