On behalf of the United Nations System in Bangladesh, I am pleased to welcome you to our webpage. In it you will find information on how the UN system is working together with Government and other partners to achieve sustainable, human-centred development.
Bangladesh is a relatively young nation with an ancient culture and history.. |

When the UN System works together to provide well coordinated, focused, and coherent response to the countrys priority development challenges, the impact it can have is greater than when UN agencies work alone in isolation. No single UN agency has the full range of skills, knowledge, and experience to tackle the multi-dimensional causes of poverty. Working together, the UN System can provide assistance to a wide range of issues, and can ensure that the support provided by each agency is complementary, rather than duplicative. |

Since 1948, when the first ever UN peacekeeping operation was deployed to the Middle East,
the UN has sent its peacekeepers to all corners of the world, to hostile environments, and under often unimaginable conditions. From the high mountains of Central and South Asia to
the deep forests of Central Africa, UN peacekeepers have put their lives at risk to protect and
promote the fundamental ideals on which the United Nations was built, namely peace and
security for all, to provide relief to people in need, and to help rebuilding war-torn countries. Carrying their signature blue helmets and berets, they are the true faces of the United
Nations. |

In 1945, representatives of 50 countries met in San Francisco at the United Nations Conference on International Organization to draw up the United Nations Charter. The Charter was signed on 26 June 1945 by the representatives of the 50 countries. The United Nations officially came into existence on 24 October 1945, when the Charter had been ratified by China, France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, the United States and by a majority of other signatories.
24 October has been celebrated as United Nations Day since 1948. It has traditionally been marked throughout the world by events to commemorate the achievements and goals of the Organization. |
