RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SARATOGA
PROCLAIMING UNITED NATIONS DAY ON OCTOBER 24, 1985
WHEREAS, United Nations Day is designated by the UN General Assembly each
year to commemorate the founding of the Organization on October 24, 1945, and
WHEREAS, on this occasion we join with the peoples of the world in
reaffirming our commitment to the principles upon which the UN was rounded:
international peace and security, respect for human rights, and the promotion
of social and economic cooperation among nations. UN Day also gives us the
opportunity to examine our involvement in the world's problems and their
solutions, and
WHEREAS, since the UN was founded 40 years ago, the world has changed
dramatically, with the addition of more than 100 nations to its membership.
In this global community, it is clear that the power to solve the world's
problems no longer lies solely in the hands of a few nations. Instead, all
nations must work together to relieve the suffering of millions, to halt
nuclear proliferation, and to promote economic devlopment, and
WHEREAS, Americans have made a great contribution to the creation and
continuing work of the United Nations, and as a part of our foreign policy,
the UN is a channel through which the US can take productive action for world
peace and prosperity. Continued support for the United Nations can advance
constructive goals that will benefit both the United States and the world.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Thursday, October 24, 1985, is hereby
proclaimed as United Nations Day, and all citizens are urged to participate
in programs and activities designed to increase understanding of the problems
and potential of the UN and to develop ideas on ways to make the United
Nations more effective.
