United Nations Day

In New York City, where the UN headquarters sits on the East River, this day is a reminder that 193 countries share a building, a city block, and a planet. The UN was founded on October 24, 1945, in the aftermath of a war that killed 70 million people. The UN is imperfect, bureaucratic, and frustrating. It is also the only forum where every nation has a seat at the table.
