10月24日联合国日：联合国成立81周年 秘书长古特雷斯呼吁以对话代替分裂
10月24日是联合国日。1945年10月24日，《联合国宪章》正式生效，联合国宣告成立；今年是联合国成立81周年。联合国秘书长古特雷斯（António Guterres）已发布2026年联合国日致辞。
古特雷斯在致辞中表示，联合国日庆祝的不只是一个组织，更是一个理念：人类的未来取决于各国携手推进和平、发展与人权的能力。他表示，81年来，联合国始终在践行这一理念：以外交与法律、而不是武器解决争端；致力于消除贫困与饥饿；促进人权；并向遭遇战争、灾害与流离失所的人群提供救命援助。他还列举，从交通、贸易与技术，到守护人类与地球的健康，再到推动性别平等、扩大妇女与女孩的机会，以及让所有国家在全球舞台上拥有平等的发言权，联合国已经成为当今世界结构中不可或缺的一部分。
古特雷斯同时表示，联合国如今比以往任何时候都更为必要：世界正被冲突所撼动、受气候危机重创、因不平等加深而伤痕累累，并被发展速度快于人类治理能力的技术所改变。他在致辞中呼吁，现在正是重申联合国诞生时价值观的时刻——以对话代替分裂、以合作代替对抗、以团结代替恐惧；他呼吁所有国家重新承诺这些共同价值观及其所依托的义务，坚定维护《联合国宪章》与国际法，并共同努力强化联合国，使其更好地为人民服务、应对这个时代的挑战。
联合国日由联合国大会于1947年宣布设立，纪念《联合国宪章》生效；联合国大会1971年通过决议，建议各会员国将这一天作为公共假日纪念。联合国总部位于 New York，现有193个会员国。
United Nations Day Falls on October 24: As the UN Marks 81 Years, Secretary-General Guterres Calls for Dialogue Over Division
October 24 is United Nations Day. The United Nations officially came into being on October 24, 1945, when the Charter of the United Nations entered into force; this year marks the organization's 81st anniversary. Secretary-General António Guterres has released his United Nations Day message for 2026.
In the message, Guterres said United Nations Day celebrates not only an organization, but an idea: that humanity's future depends on our ability to work together to advance peace, development and human rights. For 81 years, he said, the United Nations has given life to that idea — settling disputes with diplomacy and laws, not weapons; working to eradicate poverty and hunger; promoting human rights; and delivering life-saving aid to people facing war, disaster and displacement. From transportation, trade and technology, to safeguarding the health of people and the planet, to championing gender equality and expanding opportunity for women and girls, and to giving all countries an equal voice on the global stage, he said, the United Nations is an essential part of the fabric of the world.
Guterres added that the United Nations is needed more than ever: the world is shaken by conflict, battered by the climate crisis, scarred by rising inequalities, and transformed by technologies speeding faster than our ability to govern them. Now is the time, he said, to reaffirm the values that gave birth to the United Nations — dialogue over division, cooperation over confrontation, and solidarity over fear. He called on all countries to renew their commitment to those shared values and the obligations that underpin them, to stand firm in upholding the UN Charter and international law, and to work to strengthen the United Nations so it can best serve people and meet the challenges of the time.
United Nations Day was declared by the UN General Assembly in 1947 to mark the anniversary of the Charter's entry into force; in 1971 the General Assembly adopted a resolution recommending that member states observe it as a public holiday. UN Headquarters is in New York, and the organization has 193 member states.
