IIMSAM Observed UN Day

On June 26, 1945, representatives from 50 countries signed the charter creating the United Nations (U.N.), which inaugurated a new era of unprecedented international cooperation. The world had then just emerged victorious against the threat of global tyranny, and these representatives resolved to preserve peace through international cooperation and collective security. Officially coming into existence on October 24, 1945, the U.N. became the central organization charged with carrying out this mission. Since then, it has worked to maintain world peace and security, to develop friendly relations among nations, to cooperate in solving international problems, and to promote respect for human rights. Today, 192 countries belong to the United Nations Family. The organization's mission remains as urgent as ever, particularly as our world confronts new challenges in the 21st century.

While observing UN Day which is marked every year on
October 24, Dr. Naseer Homoud Goodwill Ambassador and Director of Middle East office for the Intergovernmental Institution for the use of Micro-algae Spirulina against Malnutrition (IIMSAM), the Permanent Observer to the United Nations Economic and Social Council while addressing the media said “The UN has a unique mandate to maintain international peace and security and to determine what should be done when peace is threatened - from mediation and sanctions to military intervention. And right now we are at a stage where the number of peacekeeping operations throughout the world is increasing dramatically”. He further urged that it is the privilege of the world to have UN on board and the role and efforts of UN while dealing global and national issues are really commendable and deserves appreciation from all corners of the world.

The purposes of the United Nations, as set out in the UN Charter, are to maintain international peace and security; to develop friendly relations among nations; to cooperate in solving international economic, social, cultural and humanitarian problems and in promoting respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms; and to be a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations in attaining these common ends


The UN Charter is the constituting instrument of the United Nations, articulating the rights and obligations of the Member States, and establishing the Organization’s organs and procedures. It embraces the central role of the United Nations in addressing the most profound issues facing the future of mankind



UN is a global organization which is a joint platform of its member states and the real strength of UN is vested with its indispensability with its member states. While calling the member states to exert more efforts to strength UN Dr. Naseer added “In its 64 years of existence, the UN has had to face all the challenges that a continually changing world presents. Its operations have become increasingly extensive, diverse and complex. The need to find joint solutions in an increasingly globalised world is growing. And the UN has the credibility and the legitimacy needed to deal with global challenges, but its power to act is also completely dependent on the participation of the member states”.

While addressing the media Dr. Naseer said “on the occasion of United Nations Day, I extend my cordial felicitations and best wishes to those who have been working hard to make the United Nations an effective instrument for world peace and security, vehicle for international cooperation and development, protector of fundamental freedoms and human rights and a center for harmonizing the actions of nations in attainment of their common ends.”






Calling the support for IIMSAM which is working on eradication of malnutrition and hunger Dr. Naseer urged the member states of the UN to come forward to support IIMSAM in pursuit of its aims and objectives to make this world free from hunger and malnutrition. Dr. Nasser appreciated the task being carried on by IIMSAM team in fighting world hunger and malnutrition through spreading Spirulina under viable and visionary leadership of His Excellency Ambassador Remigio M. Maradona Director General of the IIMSAM and hoped that the organization would reach to its target in fighting these menaces of contemporary world and thus spreading peace, stability and development in the world.
