DESCRIPTION:\n	(A/RES/73/286)\n\n\n\n	Delegates bring the United Nations
	 to life. Without them\, this Organization would not be what it is. They n
	egotiate agreements and coordinate with their home countries. Some form al
	liances\, others struggle for compromises. In that way\, they embody the m
	ultilateralism\, which the UN stands for.\n\n\n\n	The delegates represent 
	their countries in meetings at the United Nations. Unless a politician of 
	higher rank is present\, the delegates speak and vote on behalf of their c
	ountry at the UN General Assembly\, and other fora\, such as the UN Securi
	ty Council. The delegates are appointed by their countries. Hence\, they f
	ollow the interests of the government they serve.\n\n\n\n	In order to rais
	e awareness of the role of the representatives and delegates of the Member
	 States to the United Nations\, the UN General Assembly has proclaimed 25 
	April as International Delegate’s Day.\n\n\n\n	With the adoption of reso
	lution 73/286\, the General Assembly recognizes the crucial role of the de
	legates in fulfilling the main goals of the United Nations. Part of the de
	legates’ tasks is to live up to these goals\, whether it is maintaining 
	international peace\, encouraging respect for human rights and fundamental
	 freedoms\, or promoting effective multilateralism.\n\n\n\n	#DelegatesDay\
	n\n\n\n	Background\n\n	International Delegate’s Day marks the anniversar
	y of the first day of the San Francisco Conference\, also known as the Uni
	ted Nations Conference on International Organization. On 25 April 1945\, d
	elegates from fifty countries came together for the first time in San Fran
	cisco. Coming together after the devastation of the second world war\, the
	ir aim was to set up an organization that would restore world peace and im
	pose rules on the post-war world order.\n\n\n\n	850 delegates took part in
	 this conference\, which lasted for two months. They represented over eigh
	ty per cent of the world's population\, people of every world religion and
	 continent\; all determined to set up an organization which would preserve
	 peace and help build a better world.\n\n\n\n	Two months after the first m
	eeting\, on 26 June 1945\, the Charter of the United Nations was signed by
	 representatives of the 50 countries that attended the conference. The agr
	eement resulted in the creation of the United Nations\, an organization th
	at now comprises 193 Member States and serves as the main international ve
	nue for collective dialogue between the delegates of its Member States. Po
	land\, which did not have a government at the time of the conference\, sig
	ned the charter later\, hence bringing up the number of the Founding Membe
	r States to 51.\n\n\n\n	In its resolution 73/286 from 2 April 2019\, the G
	eneral Assembly recalls the achievement of the San Francisco Conference an
	d proclaims 25 April as International Delegate’s Day.\n\n
