The UN officially came into existence on the 24th of October, 1945 (63 years ago today!) upon ratification of the Charter of the United Nations by the five permanent members of the Security Council — France, the Republic of China, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States — and by a majority of the other 46 signatories. The first meetings of the General Assembly, with 51 nations represented, and the Security Council, took place in London in January 1946.
A thought to ponder on this day of reflection...
Humor has a way of bringing people together. It unites people. In fact, I'm rather serious when I suggest that someone should plant a few whoopee cushions in the United Nations.
-Ron Dentinger
So pull out those whoopee cushions and start celebrating!
