A thousand butter lamps were lit at the Kuenrey of the Tashichhoedzong to mark the 73rd United Nations Day today.

The advisors to the interim government, UN officials and diplomats in the country took part in the butter lamp lighting ceremony.

24 October has been celebrated as United Nations Day since 1948. The UN Day marks the anniversary of the entry into force in 1945 of the UN Charter.

With the ratification of this founding document by the majority of its signatories, including the five permanent members of the Security Council, the United Nations officially came into being.

In 1971, the United Nations General Assembly recommended that the day be observed by Member States as a public holiday.

Bhutan became a member of the United Nations in 1971.

UN Chief urges all who serve to “never give up”

The UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, urged the men and women of the UN, and those they, serve, to “never give up” tackling the world’s many challenges.

In a video released ahead of UN Day, the Secretary General said despite the odds and obstacles, and growing inequality “we don’t give up because we know by reducing inequality we increase hope and opportunity and peace around the world.”

The UN chief made clear the organization’s determination to implement climate action, fight for human rights and the life of peace that everyone deserves to enjoy.

“Climate change is moving faster than we are, but we don’t give up because we know that climate action is the only path.”

He added that human rights are being violated in so many places. “But we don’t give up because we know respect for human rights and human dignity is a basic condition for peace.”

He also said that conflicts are multiplying-people are suffering. But we don’t give up because we know every man, woman and child deserves a life of peace.

“On United Nations Day, let us reaffirm our commitment. To repair broken trust. To heal our planet. To leave no one behind. To uphold dignity for one and all, as united nations,” he said.
