2024: The "Journey for Peace"
Enters its
Year!
The "Work for Peace" Continues
75+ Years of
​
UN PEACEKEEPING:
Peace Begins With Me!
1948 - 2024
United Nations Peacekeeping began in 1948
when the Security Council authorized the deployment
of military observers to the Middle East. The role of
the UN Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO)
was to monitor the Armistice Agreement
between Israel and its Arab neighbours. Since then,
more than 2 million uniformed and civilian personnel
have served in 71 peacekeeping operations around
the world, contributing to the cause of international
security, peace and progress for all peoples.

Secretary-General's Message for United Nations Day
24 October 2024

"The United Nations was built by the world, for the world.
​
Since 1945, it has been the place for countries to unite behind global solutions to global problems.
​
Solutions that ease tensions, build bridges and forge peace.
​
Solutions to eradicate poverty, spur sustainable development, and stand up for the most vulnerable.
​
Solutions that deliver lifesaving relief to people living through conflicts, violence, economic hardship, and climate disasters.
​
Solutions that level the scales of justice and equality for women and girls.
​
Solutions that tackle issues that were unimaginable in 1945 — climate change, digital technology, artificial intelligence, and outer space.
​
In September, the General Assembly adopted the Pact for the Future, the Global Digital Compact and the Declaration on Future Generations.
​
Together, these milestone agreements will help ensure that the United Nations system adapts, reforms and rejuvenates, so it is fit for the changes and challenges around us and delivers solutions for all.
​
But our work will always be rooted in the timeless values and principles of the UN Charter and international law, and in the dignity and human rights of every person.
​
In today’s troubled world, hope is not enough.
​
Hope requires determined action and multilateral solutions for peace, shared prosperity and a thriving planet.
​
Hope requires all countries working as one.
​
Hope requires the United Nations.
​
On United Nations Day, I call on all countries to keep this beacon for the world, and its ideals, shining."

Does Humanity Need the
United Nations?
YES!
The United Nations is one of Humanity's key components making a distinct and significant difference in the process of achieving a secure, peaceful and healthy environment wherein distressed populations can be safely provisioned for with humanitarian assistance and development toward a viable life of sustainability with human rights, freedom and dignity.
​
Since its inception in 1945, the United Nations has been an indispensable peacekeeping force throughout troubled areas of conflict around the world. And in the 21st Century wherein a new era of increasing global hostilities are on the rise, the United Nations yet holds fast to its peacekeeping responsibilities and principles for the preservation of populations beset by conditions of extreme poverty, famine, lack of healthcare, sanitation and housing: human hardships increasingly compounded with new forms of adversities which harm rather than help human development.
​
In our 21st Century world of unprecedented challenges which threaten the very existence of Humanity as a whole, the United Nations Blue Helmet presence continues in its peacekeeping missions with untiring determination to keep the peace.
​
As set forth in the Preamble to the United Nations Charter, the United Nations continues to achieve its worthy goal for a better world:
" . . . WE THE PEOPLES OF THE UNITED NATIONS DETERMINED to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom, . . .
