MEMORANDUM

Posted: January 25, 2024 03:05 PM
From: Representative Scott Conklin
To: All House members
Subject: Celebrating International Collaboration by Designating October 24, 2024, as "United Nations Day" in Pennsylvania
 
We find ourselves in an era where challenges on the global stage persist, magnifying the significance of international cooperation.  The United Nations (UN) stands as a beacon, committed to fostering global peace, championing human rights, propelling social and economic development, and synchronizing efforts to tackle pressing global concerns.  This year, we commemorate seventy-nine years since the United Nations was inaugurated on October 24, 1945.
 
As we approach October 24, 2024, we are presented with an opportune moment to observe "United Nations Day."  More than mere recognition, this day signifies our unwavering commitment to the ideals the United Nations epitomizes: unity, peace, international collaboration, and the collective pursuit of progress and prosperity.
 
The UN's tangible influence extends worldwide, resonating profoundly here in Pennsylvania.  Its relentless efforts in key global areas - climate change mitigation, poverty eradication, educational advancement, and disease control, among others - remain indispensable.  As a platform where nations converge to identify and address common challenges, establish international standards, and initiate action, the United Nations is a true embodiment of global unity.  Today, its strength lies in its diverse membership of 193 member states.
 
In recognizing the vital role of this global institution, I intend to introduce a resolution to designate October 24, 2024, as "United Nations Day" in Pennsylvania.  By doing so, we not only acknowledge the monumental contributions of the United Nations but also champion the principles of unity, diversity, and global cooperation among our constituents.
 
I cordially invite you to join me in co-sponsoring this resolution, a tribute to the United Nations and its commitment to global peace, human rights, and development.  Let's honor this day and leverage it as a springboard towards realizing a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable world.
