                Proclamation 9810 of October 23, 2018

                
United Nations Day, 2018

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                On United Nations Day, we recognize the many ways the 
                United Nations has contributed to peace and security 
                among nations. Since it was founded more than 70 years 
                ago with the aim of breaking the cycle of global 
                conflict, the United Nations has provided a forum for 
                nations to resolve conflicts peacefully in an 
                increasingly complex world. The United States is 
                committed to the organization's future and is confident 
                that responsibility more equally shared among member 
                states will lead to greater effectiveness and 
                efficiency.

                The United States has, since the beginning, provided 
                leadership and vision to the United Nations. Today, the 
                United States continues to drive the United Nations 
                forward, insisting on fundamental reforms that are 
                needed to enable the organization to respond to the 
                unique and evolving problems of the 21st century. Only 
                when each country does its part can the highest 
                aspirations of the United Nations be realized, and the 
                financial responsibility for an organization like the 
                United Nations must be equitably shared among its 
                member states. Additionally, in recent months, the 
                United States has pressed for crucial changes to 
                improve the organization's performance, accountability, 
                and responsiveness. The United States pursuit of 
                reform, however, does not end there. Earlier this year, 
                the United States sent a clear message about the need 
                for change by withdrawing from the flawed United 
                Nations Human Rights Council, which repeatedly rejected 
                necessary reforms. We will not return until real reform 
                is enacted, and we will not hesitate to take the 
                measures necessary to protect America's interests or to 
                better enable the United Nations to fulfill its 
                purpose.

                The United Nations is an important forum for addressing 
                the international challenges we face today. In the past 
                year, the United States has taken bold steps, with the 
                support of the United Nations, to address the global 
                threat of nuclear proliferation; worked with partners 
                to increase their capacity for sustained humanitarian 
                response and with donors and implementing organizations 
                to make humanitarian aid more efficient; supported 
                United Nations Security Council action to improve the 
                international response to regional conflicts; and 
                brought attention to human rights abuses. The great 
                progress achieved on these fronts harbingers the 
                limitless potential of the United Nations to help 
                confront these and other challenges.

                When the United Nations lives up to its lofty ideals, 
                it is an invaluable forum for cooperation among the 
                peoples of the world. On this day, we celebrate the 
                combined efforts of member states to achieve the United 
                Nations' goals of international peace and security and 
                developing friendly relations among nations. We also 
                acknowledge all the men and women who are serving 
                around the world in peacekeeping and humanitarian 
                missions, and all those who work to keep our world safe 
                from weapons of mass destruction.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the 
                United States of America, by virtue of the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States, do hereby proclaim October 24, 2018, as 
                United Nations Day. I urge the Governors of the 50 
                States, the Governor of the Commonwealth of Puerto 
                Rico, and the officials of all other areas

                under the flag of the United States, to observe United 
                Nations Day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                twenty-third day of October, in the year of our Lord 
                two thousand eighteen, and of the Independence of the 
                United States of America the two hundred and forty-
                third.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
