The United Nations at 80: Building our future together
The United Nations marked its 80th anniversary under the global theme "Building Our Future Together", celebrating eight decades of peace, human rights, and international cooperation.
Over the past 80 years, the UN has achieved significant milestones, including lifting 1 billion people out of extreme poverty, advancing women's rights, saving the ozone layer, and eradicating diseases like smallpox.
