After World War II, 51 countries united to promote international peace and security, better living standards and human rights. Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill are the ones who wrote the declaration, which was then signed by other countries. Antonio Guterres has been the Secretary-General of the United Nations since 2017.
On this UN Day, let’s stand together and fulfil the extraordinary promise of your United Nations. Let’s show the world what is possible when “we the peoples” choose to act as one.
António Guterres
