From https://www.un.org/en/observances/un-day: “United Nations Day (October 24) marks the anniversary of the day in 1945 when the UN Charter entered into force. UN Day 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 76 years.”
