UN Turns 80 Years Old as Its Global Clout Dwindles
- The United Nations marked the 80th anniversary of its Charter signing on June 26, 1945, in San Francisco by 50 founding states.
- The UN was born after World War II to prevent future conflicts, uphold human dignity, and promote equality and sovereignty of nations.
- At a special session, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that while the UN has achieved much, its Charter is increasingly under assault amid ongoing global wars.

- The anniversary highlights challenges like continued conflicts and aid cuts, suggesting urgent collective action to defend the Charter and recommit to its promises for peace and justice.
