The Committee of National Unity (Spanish: Comité de Unidad Nacional, CUN) was a right-wing self-styled "technocratic" organization of moderate conservative business and government leaders[1] in Bolivia.

The CUN was founded by Hernán Antelo Laughlin, Fastón Villa and Ronald MacLean Abaroa in November 1977. [2]

In 1978 the Committee of National Unity took part in an electoral coalition Nationalist Union of the People backing Juan Pereda Asbún. [3]

In 1979, the CUN dissolved into Hugo Banzer Suárez's new Nationalist Democratic Action (ADN).
