PARTY, UN STYLE!
Celebrate!
Holidays let us collectively remember the past and daydream together about the future. International observances bring Haiti together with Sweden, get Liberia reminiscing with Kazakhstan about the good times, and let Thailand and Canada contemplate about tomorrow over a glass of UN punch. The United Nations General Assembly, Economic and Social Council (UNESCO) have founded countless holidays and coordinate global festivities to unite the world in celebration and remembrance. Here are just a few of the countless holidays recognized by the UN:
- January 27- International Holocaust Remembrance Day
- February 22- World Day for Water
- March 21- International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination
