  • Holiday July 18 - International Day of Nelson Mandela
  • Holiday November 20 - World Children's Day

The earthly world is mired in wars, anger and greed. “Man is a wolf to man” - this is how the good old formula of life “all people are brothers”. It seems that there is no longer a grain of justice left in the whole world, but this is not so. There is a peacekeeping community on Earth, which everyone knows under the abbreviation UN. Representatives of the United Nations have always strived, and today especially today, to resolve difficult world conflicts, to strengthen ties between individual peoples inhabiting the planet. The establishment of international holidays: kind, bright, useful - is also their merit. Several memorable dates are dedicated to the UN staff themselves and to what these wise people do. One such date, namely the UN Civil Service Day, falls on June 23 and is intended to draw the world's attention to the UN civil service.


History of the holiday UN Public Service Day

The event that predetermined the establishment of such an important holiday for the whole world was the session of the 57th Assembly of the United Nations. At the end of 2002, at the congress of the UN participants, Resolution 57/277 was adopted, according to which they decided to celebrate the UN Public Service Day on June 23 every year.


What was the purpose of the UN Public Service Day? The UN has set itself one single task: to convey to people the importance and necessity of public service, first of all, in the ranks of peacekeepers. According to the call made on the day of the establishment of the holiday at the Assembly of the United Nations, each state that is part of the United Nations should promote the advantages of public service over other forms of labor. These include the rewarding of especially distinguished employees for the good of society, the agitation of young people (schoolchildren and students) in this direction. The UN has organized its own award, which annually goes to those who have contributed to the development of government activities. Typically, the awards ceremony takes place in the conference room of the UN General Assembly.



The origin and formation of the UN

The United Nations Public Service Day is a great time to look into history. How it all began?

The UN is not the first community to pursue an active struggle for world peace. Its prototype was the League of Nations, created at the very beginning of the 20th century, during the First World War. The activity of this organization was short-lived - the association had to be disbanded due to the imminent onset of World War II and the lack of an opportunity to influence the course of events. In other words, the League of Nations is, alas, its central task. did not fulfill.


The need for such a peacekeeping organization, however, arose almost immediately. 26 countries have come together in order, despite the difficulties, to make an attempt to stop the blatant lawlessness in which a huge number of innocent people were involved, as is usually the case in armed conflicts. The name of the newly formed institution was given by Franklin D. Roosevelt, the President of the United States. Officially, the abbreviation UN was used on the first day of 1942 in the corresponding Declaration.

Every serious institution or community necessarily has its own charter. The fate of acquiring such a set of rights, obligations, rules and instructions has not spared the United Nations either. Numerous specialists worked on the document, during the work, the proposals of representatives of such participating countries as China, USA, Britain, USSR were generally taken into account. The Charter was approved in the summer of 1945, after the end of the war. Poland joined the United Nations somewhat later, becoming 51 members of the community.



The official date of the emergence of the UN is October 24, 1945. This event is celebrated annually around the world under the name United Nations Day.

Over the years of its existence, the world institution has established many international holidays... All of them give each of us the opportunity to discover in ourselves kindness, patriotism, love for culture and awareness of the value of the spiritual heritage of the planet. Among the good holidays there are International Day of Happiness (March 20), World Poetry Day (March 21), International Day of Forests (March 21). The only day of the year when people suffering from a common genetic disease can feel their need for this planet - World Down Syndrome Day - was also established by the United Nations.

Features of the activity

There are only three letters: UN - and a vivid association with the restoration of justice, a manifestation of mercy, and helping the humiliated and oppressed immediately flares up in my head. The activities of the Organization develop in many directions and are carried out by structural components: the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, The International Court of Justice, Trusteeship Council, General Assembly. The five listed bodies constitute the backbone of the United Nations, its backbone.


In order to understand the full breadth of the spectrum of gratuitous services provided to the world community as a whole, it is necessary to highlight the main working directions of the association's work. Here they are:

  • sending humanitarian aid to those in need in natural disaster zones;
  • environmental protection;
  • development of technology for producing environmentally friendly products;
  • the fight against terrorism;
  • carrying out activities in defense of the democratic system.

Of course, this is only a handful of problems that the UN is solving today, but it is quite enough to assess the scale of the work of this state structure. Currently, the United Nations includes almost 200 states that have every right to participate in the discussions. The activities of the UN cannot but affect the life of earthlings, even if now we do not feel positive changes in our own existence. Sooner or later, this bright moment will come. After all, it is not easy to take control of the social functioning of the planet in an attempt to make it better, especially given the adverse circumstances around the world.
