Marking the birth of an institution built on peace, cooperation, and global vision.

The Story of Unity

United Nations Day is observed every year on October 24, commemorating the day the UN Charter officially came into force in 1945. After the devastation of World War II, 51 countries came together to create an international body dedicated to peace, security, human rights, and cooperation.

Today, the UN has grown to 193 member states, tackling global challenges from climate change and humanitarian crises to sustainable development and world health. United Nations Day is not just about institutions—it’s about the ideal that nations can stand stronger together than apart.

In 2025, the UN continues to drive progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a blueprint for a fairer, greener, more peaceful planet by 2030. The holiday is both a reminder of achievements and a call to action: unity is only as strong as the people and governments that uphold it.
