Today is United Nations Day. It commemorates the creation of the United Nations on this day in 1945. The UN was established after World War II with the aim of preventing future world wars. On 25 April, 1945, 50 nations met in San Francisco and began drafting the UN Charter. The Charter took effect on October 24, 1945 upon ratification by the General Assembly of the UN and its Security Council. The organization’s objectives, as defined by its charter, include maintaining international peace and security, protecting human rights, delivering humanitarian aid, promoting sustainable development, and upholding international law. At its founding, the UN had 51 member states; as of 2023, it has 193 – almost all of the world’s sovereign states.
