United Nations Day is celebrated on October 24 every year.

• It marks the official establishment of the United Nations in 1945.
• On this day, the UN Charter was ratified by the majority of signatories, including the five permanent members of the Security Council, and this led to the official establishment of UN.
• The Day was first celebrated in 1948. The UN, in 1971, also recommended the member states to observe it as a public holiday.
• UN Day, celebrated every year, offers the opportunity to amplify our common agenda and reaffirm the purposes and principles of the UN Charter that have guided us for the past 77 years.
