United Nations Day is celebrated internationally on 24 October for the purpose of informing the people of the world as to the aims, purposes, and achievements of the UN . It commemorates the coming into being of the United Nations Organisation on that day in 1945 when the UN Charter was ratified by all permanent members of the security council and more than half of the signatories. The day is part of the United Nations Week, October 20-26; it was declared in U.N. Resolution 168 (II), on 31 October 1947 . On 6 December 1971 , U.N. Resolution 2782 (XXVI) recommended that United Nations day be made a national holiday in all member countries. {Link without Title} Several international schools also celebrate the diversity of their student body on United Nations Day (although the event is not necessarily celebrated on 24 October ). Celebrations often include a show of cultural performances in the evening and a food fair, where food is available from all over the world. COUNTRIES RECOGNIZING UNITED NATIONS DAY
