To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to mark United Nations Day on 24 October.

Answered by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

This year's UN Day marks the 78th anniversary of the birth of the United Nations since the UN Charter came into force in 1945. The UK is proud to have been a strong supporter of the UN since its inception and we remain fully committed both to the UN and to the values it works to uphold. On 24 October, HMG will recognise UN Day through a series of posts across social media and other communications platforms as well as by attending relevant events at the UN in New York.
