United Nations Day
Today's UN Day 24th October.
The 20th century witnessed the two devastating world wars. The League of Nations was established after the first world war. The main function and object of the league of nations was to establish peace and security in the world. The League of Nations failed to achieve its objective it is sufficient to note that the second world war was the ample proof of the utter failure of the league of nations to establish peace in the world.
The Second World War compelled the nations of the world endeavour to establish an international organisation so that mutual disputes could be resolved peacefully and peace and security could be established in the world. Consequently, even war was going on the great powers of the world has start making their efforts in this direction.
They are untiring efforts lead to holding of the San Francisco conference on January 26,1945 wherein the united nations charter was adopted and signed by 51 nations of the world.
However the United Nations charter did not come into force immediately because it was necessary to have been ratified by the prescribed number of nations. On October 24,1945 the united nations was ultimately established.
