Today we celebrate the signing of a landmark agreement, the UN Charter of 1945, that has since changed the way the world thinks about global issues and the manner it approaches potential solutions to humanity’s shared challenges.
Happy United Nations Day 2020!
This year’s celebration marks 75 years of existence of this indispensable institution. Throughout these three quarters of a century, the world has contemplated many triumphs in which the UN has played a key role in the form of peace missions in many conflict-stricken countries. The UN is also committed to building a better future for all by establishing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The 75th anniversary of the foundation of the United Nations has come hand in hand with one of the biggest challenges humanity has had to deal with up until now: the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, mainly through the World Health Organization, the UN is hard at work to stop the spread of the virus and to find a suitable vaccine in order to annihilate this important threat. The organisation also launched the so-called Global Dialogue at the beginning of 2020, which aimed to gather information on humanity’s hopes, fears and priorities for the future. The Global Dialogue has ended up in the adoption of a progressive and hopeful political declaration that commits all its Member States to push harder than ever to enhance cooperation between all countries during these trying times.
