UN at 80: Eight decades of building a better future, together
Event description
"Eight decades later, one can draw a direct line between the creation of the United Nations and the prevention of a third world war" - Antonio Guterres, United Nations Secretary-General.
Eighty years ago, on 24 October 1945, the UN Charter came into force, establishing the United Nations. Join with the United Nations Association of Australia Young Professionals as we celebrate 80 years spent promoting peace, human rights and social progress, improving access to healthcare and education, and bettering the lives of countless millions around the globe.
