On United Nations Day, Carney Says Canada, the UN's Sixth-Largest Contributor, Will Defend Freedom and Human Rights
Ottawa, Canada's capital. On October 24, United Nations Day, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney issued a statement marking the anniversary of the United Nations and reaffirming Canada's commitment to multilateralism.
Carney said in the statement that Canada helped shape the United Nations Charter after the Second World War, and that today the post-war order is eroding and the United Nations is being tested. The UN now has 193 member states.
He said Canada is the United Nations' sixth-largest contributor, and that Canada will continue to stand up for freedom, human rights, sustainability and solidarity, and support the UN in playing its role.
October 24 marks the anniversary of the entry into force of the UN Charter in 1945, and the United Nations observes the date as United Nations Day.
