United Nations Day

United Nations Day is devoted to making known to peoples of the world the aims and achievements of the United Nations Organization. United Nations Day is part of United Nations Week, which runs from 20 to 26 October.

In 1948, the United Nations General Assembly declared 24 October, the anniversary of the Charter of the United Nations, as which "shall be devoted to making known to the peoples of the world the aims and achievements of the United Nations and to gaining their support for" its work.

In 1971 the United Nations General Assembly adopted a further resolution (United Nations Resolution 2782) declaring that United Nations Day shall be an international holiday and recommended that it should be observed as a public holiday by all United Nations member states.

Commemoration

U.N. Day has traditionally been marked throughout the world with meetings, discussions and exhibits about the achievements and goals of the organization. In 1971, the General Assembly recommended that member states observe it as a public holiday.

Something Broken

by: John Hiatt

There's something broken in my heart
Oh it was nothing you done
There's something broken in my heart
I guess that's just the way it comes
There's something broken in my heart
Something I just can't fix
There's something broken
Something broken in my heart
I've tried every powder and every pill
To put it back together somehow
Rode high with the fool up on the hill
Come down with the draft horse and the plow
I've been to the land of milk and honey
And honey I'm broke down now
There's something broken
Something broken in my heart
I'm gonna go downtown tonight and find me a woman
Try to keep those jagged edges from my mind
And if I don't start a fight I'll just keep running
'Till I break on through into the morning light
There's something broken in my heart
Oh it was nothing you done
There's something broken in my heart
I know I'm not the only one
There's something broken in my heart
Something I just can't fix
There's something broken
