About Us

The United Nations officially came into existence on 24 October 1945, four months after the San Francisco Conference concluded. Its Charter had been ratified by China, France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, and a majority of other signatories.

More than 75 years later, the United Nations continues to work toward its founding goals: maintaining international peace and security, delivering humanitarian aid, protecting human rights, and upholding international law.

At the same time, the UN has taken on new responsibilities that its founders could not have imagined in 1945. Today, it leads global efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, aiming to build a more equitable and sustainable future for all. Member States have also united in the fight against climate change, committing to actions that limit global warming. With a history of significant accomplishments, the United Nations now looks ahead—focused on the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.
