Thank you, delegates. I am humbled and honored by your overwhelming support. This is an important step, but there’s more work ahead. I’ll keep fighting every day to make Washington smaller and Utah stronger. Load image

International Delegate's Day History

International Delegates Day seeks to commemorate the 850 delegates from fifty countries who participated in the San Francisco Conference in 1945. This conference laid the foundation for the creation of the United Nations, an institution created in recognition of the need for diplomacy to prevent war and conflict. Delegates from different countries represented their countries and they continue to do so today. It is their responsibility to maintain international peace and to encourage respect for human rights and personal freedoms.

International Delegates Day was established in 2019 by the UN General Assembly. It is observed annually on April 25.

The Charter of the United Nations was signed on June 26, 1945, by representatives from 50 countries. Poland would sign the charter later, thus bringing the total founding member states to 51.
As we commemorate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the United Nations, we must build trust with one another, deepen partnerships and show empathy. This is the only way to resolve the many challenges that confront us - Tijjani Muhammad-Bande, International Delegate's Day 2020
