The UN only publishes broad statistical data about the nationality of its employees. As of 31 December 2016, there were 866 UK citizens employed by the UN Secretariat. The last published data covering the UN system including the Secretariat plus UN funds, programmes and specialised agencies dates back to 31 December 2012 and shows a total of 2454 UK citizens employed at the time.
