Covid-19 is a stark reminder of the need for cooperation across borders, sectors and generations. The virus knows no boundaries. A coordinated global response is needed to build a better future for all, and global dialogue and cooperation are now more urgent than ever.<\/span><\/p>\n

To mark its 75th anniversary, the United Nations in January 2020 launched a global conversation to gather public opinion and crowdsource solutions to global challenges. We highlight the results of this unprecedented survey on the future people around the world want – overwhelmingly one where global cooperation plays a vital role in addressing today\u2019s challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>24 October (Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Day<\/a>) <\/span>\u00a0marks the anniversary of the entry into force in 1945 of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Charter. With the ratification of this founding document by the majority of its signatories, including the five permanent members of the Security Council, the United Nations officially came into being. 24 October has been celebrated as United Nations Day since 1948.<\/span><\/p>\n
