United Nations Day is on October 24. This day celebrates when the United Nations was created by signing its important document, called the charter. The United Nations is a group that works for peace in the world.
You can see a video on how it all started in San Francisco, USA in 1945.
No other global group is as powerful or respected as the United Nations. It gives hope to many people who want a better world and can help build the future we desire. Right now, it is very important for all countries to work together to keep the promise of being united.
