United Nations Day, observed annually on October 24, celebrates the founding of the United Nations in 1945 when the UN Charter came into force. Established post-World War II, the UN was created to foster global peace, security, and cooperation.
The charter drafting began on April 25, 1945, with representatives from 50 countries gathering in San Francisco; it was adopted on June 25 and formally enacted on October 24. United Nations Day highlights the organization’s crucial role in international diplomacy, humanitarian aid, and global development.
