Today the global community celebrates the birthday of the hugest international governmental organization – the United Nations (UN).
The UN was founded in 1945. On June 26, the representatives of 50 states signed the UN Charter. The UN Charter came into force on 24 October 1945, when it had been ratified by China, France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, the United States and by a majority of other signatories, which meant the international recognition of the United Nation. Since then, the 24th of October is annually celebrated as the UN Day.
Initially, the main aim of the Organization was to maintain international peace and security to avoid a new World War. However, throughout history, the UN activities became much more complex, connected to all spheres of society. 193 Member States from all the continents cooperate in frames of numerous bodies, committees, and missions to tackle all global issues the world faces.
On October 11-14, the city of Vladivostok for the third time hosted the Asia Pacific Association of Russian Language and Literature Professors (ATAPRYAL) sports competition among foreign university students of the Far East “World Generation”. The event was conducted under the auspices of ATAPRYAL, Far Eastern Branch of "Russky Mir" Foundation as well as the Fund for Cultural and Physical Development, and gathered more than 200 Russian and foreign students from all over the Russian Far East. As MUNRFE has tight and long-lasting partnership relations with the Far Eastern Branch of "Russky Mir" Foundation, the Organization became a co-organizer of the event contributing to the event on both stages of organization and implementation.
