British Academy Film Award: United Nations Award

The list includes winners and nominees in the United Nations Award category of the British Academy Film Awards . Prizes in the category were awarded from 1949 to 1976. The award went to films that best expressed the spirit of the United Nations . In the first year of the award ceremony, the award was called "United Nations Award for the best film embodying one or more of the principles of the United Nations Charter". Films from the previous year were awarded; in the first year there were only nominations, but no winners.

The films listed are given with their German distribution title (if this can be determined), followed by the foreign-language original title in brackets in italics. The original title is not mentioned if the German and original film titles are identical. The winners are highlighted first.
