SUMMARY:United Nations Day
DESCRIPTION:UN Day marks the anniversary of the entry into force in 1945 of the UN Charter. With the ratification of this founding document by the majority of its signatories\, including the five permanent members of the Security Council\, the United Nations officially came into being. \nThere is no other global organization with the legitimacy\, convening power and normative impact of the United Nations. Today\, the urgency for all countries to come together\, to fulfil the promise of the nations united\, has rarely been greater. \n24 October has been celebrated as United Nations Day since 1948. In 1971\, the United Nations General Assembly recommended that the day be observed by Member States as a public holiday.

SUMMARY:International Day for the Eradication of Poverty
DESCRIPTION:In a world characterized by an unprecedented level of economic development\, technological means and financial resources\, that millions of persons are living in extreme poverty is a moral outrage. Poverty is not solely an economic issue\, but rather a multidimensional phenomenon that encompasses a lack of both income and the basic capabilities to live in dignity. \nPersons living in poverty experience many interrelated and mutually reinforcing deprivations that prevent them from realizing their rights and perpetuate their poverty\, including: \n\ndangerous work conditions\nunsafe housing\nlack of nutritious food\nunequal access to justice\nlack of political power\nlimited access to health care\n\nThis year marks the 27th anniversary of the declaration by the General Assembly\, in its resolution 47/196 of 22 December 1992\, of 17 October as the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. This year also marks the 32nd anniversary of the Call to Action by Father Joseph Wresinski — which inspired the observance of October 17 as the World Day for Overcoming Extreme Poverty — and the recognition by the United Nations of the day as the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty.
