Today is United Nations Day.

International Women's Day (IWD), originally called International Working Women's Day, is marked on March 8 every year.

United Nations Day

The Un Organisation works accross nations and areas to advertise common progress, humanitarian, environmental and sociological concerns, and United Nations Day encourages the job carried out with this group. The organisation suggests the date ought to be a public holiday, though this really is generally not the situation.

United Nations?

The United Nations needs to do what it was meant to do, stop the spread of war, famine and the proliferation of nuclear weapons. It's failing at all of these things. You cannot sit down and talk about things endlessly, at some point, you have to take action. The action part is what the UN seems to fail at constantly. Country after country continues to obtain nuclear weapons and Africa continues to slide downhill with war and famine becoming more and more widespread every day.

People constantly quote the United States as being the problem, and granted, we aren't perfect, but lets get some things straight. We are the good guys. If you don't believe that then you can just stop reading because you're lost. Second, we pretty much pay for the United Nations to exist. Third, we are a force for good in the world. The U.S. has it's problems but there are far worse problems in the world. If people spend half the energy that they spend criticizing this country on actually fixing the real issues abroad, then the world would be a much better place and then, and only then, could we focus on what the United States could do better.

We'll never leave the United Nations and we probably shouldn't, however, we do need a strong President who is willing to appoint people like John Bolton to the UN to help reform this corrupt organization. Hopefully, with Kofi Annan's depature it will mark the beginning of some positive change in this organization.

In 1947, the United Nations General Assembly declared 24 October, the anniversary of the Charter of the United Nations, as which "shall be devoted to making known to the peoples of the world the aims and achievements of the United nations and to gaining their support for" its work.[1]

In 1971 the United Nations General Assembly adopted a further resolution (United Nations Resolution 2782) declaring that United Nations Day shall be an international holiday and recommended that it should be observed as a public holiday by all United Nations member states.[2]

United Nations Day is devoted to making known to peoples of the world the aims and achievements of the United Nations Organization. United Nations Day is part of United Nations Week, which runs from 20 to 26 October.
