United Nations at 70: 'Strong UN. Better World.'

Manila Bulletin, 24/10/2015-UNITED Nations (UN) Day o­n October 24 commemorates the historic entry into force 70 years ago in 1945 of the UN Charter, which officially created the UN, upon ratification by majority of its original 51 members, including the five Security Council permanent members. The Philippines, a signatory to the Charter, is among the organization's 51 founding members.

 

Adopted during the UN Conference o­n International Organization in San Francisco, California, o­n October 24, 1945, the Charter creates a community of states dedicated to preventing future wars and promoting close cooperation between governments. The first UN Day was held o­n October 24, 1948.

General Carlos P. Romulo, who was Philippine ambassador to the UN from 1946 to 1954, became the first Asian to serve as president of the UN General Assembly o­n September 20, 1949.

UN Day reflects o­n the work of the UN and its family of specialized agencies. With the theme, "Strong UN. Better World," the 70th anniversary celebration ("UN70") looks back o­n UN history, its enduring achievements, focuses o­n where it needs to redouble its efforts to meet present and future challenges in the three pillars of the UN's task - peace and security, development, and human rights.

Special events will be held to honor the UN's 70 years of existence. The Dag Hammarskjold Library at UN New York will present 70 documents that have shaped the UN and the world in an o­nline exhibit, "70 Years, 70 Documents."

"UN70" global celebration seeks to unite the 193 member-states, civil society, and men and women working in common cause to realize a better world. "2015 is a o­nce-in-ageneration opportunity; our goal is to put people at the center and protect our o­ne and o­nly planet; our duty is to end poverty, leave no o­ne behind and build lives of dignity for all," says UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.

After 15 years, the UN this year concluded the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), its largest poverty-reduction effort, overseen by two UN secretaries-general - Kofi Annan, who introduced them in 2000, and Ban Ki-moon, who led effectively to achieve them. After the MDGs, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, embodied in a resolution "Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda," were adopted last September 25 by the UN General Assembly, to end extreme poverty, narrow inequalities, and ensure environmental sustainability over the next 15 years.

In the works is a binding and universal agreement o­n climate, for the first time in over 20 years of UN negotiations, to be discussed and adopted by nations, leaders and environment advocates during the much-awaited UN Climate Change Conference (COP21) in Paris, France, o­n November 30-December 11.
