To be clear: the "United Nations" as a global "international organization" was formed 75 years ago this past Saturday (Oct 24).
But the "United Nations" itself is a bit older.

The "United Nations" itself was formed on January 1, 1942 as a military alliance against Nazi Germany

PM @narendramodi addressed the #UN75 virtually today. Key points from his speech:
•How long would a country have to wait particularly when the transformational changes happening in that country affect a large part of the world?

•With the changing times,if we don’t change,then the drive needed to bring change will also get weakened.

Today I called on #UNGA to lead a global push to connect everyone to the web. Here’s why.
Every year since I invented the web, its importance in people’s lives has grown. At the same time, the gap between those who are and are not connected has grown too.

#DigitalCooperation
Web access promotes and protects social justice. It provides opportunities that should be available for everyone. It contributes positively to almost all of the #SDGs — from reducing inequalities and driving economic growth, to boosting health outcomes.

#DigitalCooperation
Digital technology increasingly underpins access to essential services, including food, water, energy, and healthcare, as well as critical pillars of government and democracy.
We must therefore urgently work for a digital future that is safe, empowering, and includes everyone.

HAPPENING NOW: President Rodrigo Duterte addresses the United Nations General Assembly for the first time in his four-year presidency #UNGA #UN75
Duterte: The invisible enemy that is COVID-19 has brought about an unfamiliar global landscape and unleashed a crisis without precedent
Duterte: How we address COVID-19 will define the future.
75 years ago, @UN was founded to unite the world to confront the challenges facing all of humanity. With growing inequality, climate crisis, #COVID19, toxic nationalism, and ongoing conflict - it is clear that the promise of the UN remains as important as ever. #UN75
We celebrate the @UN #UN75. Its humanitarian efforts have saved lives, it has brokered and kept peace in conflict areas around the world, promoted #HumanRights, and created & championed an agenda for sustainable development. #PeaceDay #GlobalGoals
But @UN's promise remains unfulfilled. Globally, #WomensRights are being rolled back, women human rights defenders are under attack. 25 yrs since the Beijing Declaration, & 20 yrs since UNSC Res. 1325, govts aren't meeting commitments to #WomenPeaceSecurity & gender equality.

@jairbolsonaro FALSO. “Nossa floresta é úmida e não permite a propagação do fogo em seu interior”, disse @jairbolsonaro na ONU. Dados e especialistas indicam que a ação humana, por meio do desmatamento, é o combustível do fogo que se alastra na Amazônia. Leia mais: aosfatos.org/noticias/o-que…
@jairbolsonaro FALSO. “Por decisão judicial, todas as medidas de isolamento e restrições de liberdade foram delegadas a cada um dos 27 governadores. Ao presidente, coube o envio de recursos e meios a todo o país”, disse @jairbolsonaro. A Justiça não eximiu o governo de agir contra a Covid-19.

Remember one of those secret projects I said I’m involved in? Well, @UNICEF + @TheLancet & @FT Commission are partnering on @GHFutures2030 to explore how technology is shaping health and wellbeing for future generations.
And I’m working with them to help envision this.
And I’m working with them to help envision this.
We’re asking young people to imagine their own health futures. We want to know what mental health, healthcare & medicine, with artificial intelligence & frontier technologies, could look like in 2045. Youth voices matter, and we need them to be heard by world leaders at #UN75.
If you’re young (or have youngsters around you—looking at you, teachers!), what’s the biggest obstacle to your health? Climate change? Politics? Education? Join the conversation with the #MyFutureMyHealth hashtag. Go wild: Robot nurses! Wearable monitors! Flying Ambulances!
1/#Thread #JustCurious: Why @UNHumanRights, @CommissionerHR, & international media are silent on Pakistan's barbarism and brutalities against Baloch people? Aren't Baloch people rights are #humanrights? CC:@Dunja_Mijatovic @mbachelet @BBCNews @CNN @ABC @abcnews #BalochLivesMatter
2/Are the Baloch nation excluded from the #UnitedNations? Isn't the @UN an organization where oppressed & victimized nations like Baloch nation: don't have any value, to have a voice for them?

Context: In 1945, amidst the Second World War (#WWII), the bloodiest conflict in human history and the first true total war, nations under the Allies and neutral ones have come together for cooperation, dialogue, and shared action for peace.
