Mark the anniversary of the first day of the San Francisco Conference.

 

The delegates bring the United Nations to life. Without them, this Organization would not be what it is. They negotiate agreements and coordinate with their home countries. Some form alliances, others struggle for compromises. In that way, they embody the multilateralism, which the UN stands for. The delegates represent their countries in meetings at the United Nations. Unless a politician of higher rank is present, the delegates speak and vote on behalf of their country at the United Nations General Assembly, and other fora, such as the United Nations Security Council. The delegates are appointed by their countries. Hence, they follow the interests of the government they serve.
