October 24 was declared United Nations Day in 1947 to

commemorate the United Nations Charter, which took effect

on Oct 24, 1945.
The Philippines is among the 51 founding members of the
United Nations.

There are 6 official languages in the United Nations:

Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish.

The newest member of the United Nations is South Sudan,

bringing the number of member countries to 193.

The timing of its creation a month after World War II

ended alludes to one of the core purposes of the United
Nations: achieving peace. Two olive branches, the symbols
for peace, can be seen prominently on the UN emblem.

The headquarters of the United Nations is located in New

York City, but is considered international territory.
