Foreword

Signed a half century ago in San Francisco in June 1945, the United Nations Charter—the blueprint for the structure and work of the new world Organization—shaped the way for a new reality of global cooperation. For five decades, the United Nations has brought nations together to deal with challenges that no single nation could resolve on its own. Through the United Nations, the world has embraced the ideals of peace and security and has pledged itself to the goals of development and respect for human rights and international law. Within its halls, consensus can be built, sometimes on issues where Member States initially had diametrically opposed views, and strategies have been devised and implemented to realize the vision of a better world for all humanity.

Sustainable Development Goals:

Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
