PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, this year on October 24, the peoples of the world will join together
once again to observe United Nations Day, recalling the date in
1945 when the United Nations Charter came into force. UN Day is a
time for the world's citizens to reaffirm their faith in the Charter's
ideals of peace and human rights. UN Day is an occasion for us to
renew our commitment to social and economic cooperation between
nations. UN Day gives us all an opportunity to examine our involvement
in the world's problems and their possible solutions, and
WHEREAS, the United Nations is largely a product of the idealism and strength
of the United States. Since the UN was formed 32 years ago, the
world has clanged dramatically and the UN reflects these changes.
But the ideals on which it was founded have not changed, nor have
ours, and
WHEREAS, the new direction of the United States reconfirms our confidence in
these ideals and the noble purpose of the UN. The Carter Administration
has already made a major commitment to the UN as a means through
which the US can take constructive action for world harmony. The
President is intent on restoring the moral leadership the US once
had within the UN, thus reinforcing the UN's efforts to make and
keep peace throughout the world, and
WHEREAS, as we face today's pressing problems and tomorrow's crucial questions,
we realize that their solution requires the cooperation of all nations.
Problems such as nuclear proliferation, population growth, use of the
seas, energy, food production, trade, and environmental protection
affect us all and cannot be solved by one nation alone. The UN, as our
only world-wide organization, offers us the best vehicle for finding
the answers we all seek,
