UN DAY
October 24, 1979
` Each year, on October 24, Americans join with the peoples of the world
f in celebrating United Nations Day, commemorating the founding of the
United Nations in 1945. On this occasion we reaffirm our commitment
to the principles on which the UN was founded: international peace and
` security, respect for human rights , and the promotion of social and
f economic cooperation between nations. UN Day also gives us all the
opportunity to examine our involvement in the world' s problems and their
possible solution.
Since the UN was formed 34 years ago, the world has changed dramatically,
and the UN reflects these changes. Its membership has nearly tripled
from the original 51 members. In this new global community, it is
clear that power to solve the world' s problems no longer lies solely in
the hands of a few. All nations must work together if solutions to
problems such as the arms race, nuclear proliferation, the international
economic order, energy, use of the seas , and environmental protection
are to be found.
S Americans have made a very great contribution to the creation and continu-
ing work of the United Nations. President Carter has stressed the
t importance of the UN as a means through which the US can take productive
action for world peace. The continued support of the American people
for the United Nations can advance constructive goals that will benefit
both the United States and the world.
NOW, THEREFORE, I Wolfgang H. Penzel , Mayor of Eden Prairie do hereby
proclaim Wednesday, October 24, 1979 as United Nations Day and call upon
all citizens of Eden Prairie to observe that day in the spirit of common
purpose expressed in the United Nations Charters , I urge everyone to
participate in activities designed to increase understanding of the
problems and potentials of the UN and to develop ideas to make the United
Nations more effective.
