October 24 is United Nations (UN) Day. It marks the anniversary of the entry into force in 1945 of the UN Charter. With the ratification of this founding.

It is the reason for the UN’s presence in the Philippines and the rallying point for the work of over 2000 UN personnel in the country – most of them Filipinos. The Philippines continues to make its mark in the UN, with at least 657 Filipinos serving in various capacities for the UN overseas. [Philippines and the UN](https://philippines.un.org/) is at the heart of our celebration of UN Day this year. We welcome the engagement of the government to support the UN reform to ensure that we are better able to adapt to the challenging times and effectively respond to national priorities. The Philippines has also been a staunch advocate of the protection of the rights and promotion of the welfare of migrants, through the implementation of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration (GCM) since its adoption by the UN General Assembly in December of 2018. We also acknowledge the solidarity of our development partners, who support this collective long-term vision and aspirations of the Filipino people for themselves and for the country. The Philippines was one of the very first countries to report back on its implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in July 2016. The UN and a wide range of country-based humanitarian partners work hand in hand to join government’s capacity for large-scale responses to natural disasters, such as for Typhoon Rai in December 2021 where over 200 organizations worked together to complement the government response. our most recent initiative, the integrated national financial framework, funded by the Joint SDG Fund, represents our cutting-edge investment to support the country in SDGs budget-planning towards the achievement of the 2030 agenda to leave no one behind. A strong supporter of equality and independence, he in many ways reflects the aims that the UN still strives towards today, including through the commitment to “leave no one behind” in reaching the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). For 77 years, the Philippines has demonstrated its commitment to the values inscribed in the UN Charter, including by upholding its UN treaty obligations, working toward development, and taking steps towards addressing humanitarian situations. With the ratification of this founding document by the majority of its signatories, including the five permanent members of the Security Council, the UN officially came into being.

By achieving the potential of every young person in crises, we stand a better chance of achieving the ideals and principles of the UN Charter. We call on donors, Member States, private sector companies and high-net-worth individuals to be the change-makers who can make the ideals and principles of the United Nations a reality for the young generation who represent hope and will become future world leaders. Every one of these young people share a dream to serve their society, their country and the world. By delivering education to every child and adolescent left furthest behind in these emergencies and protracted crises, we can close the gap between the powerful vision of the United Nations and the cruel realities on the ground. At the ECW High-Level Financing Conference, which will be convened on16-17 February 2023 in Geneva, we can take a bold and principled stand to make a difference. All attacks on schools and schoolchildren contravene the UN Charter, International Humanitarian Law and the Safe Schools Declaration. Since its formation in 1945, the United Nations has stood as a universal symbol of hope and humanity. In 1945 and the ensuing years, there was optimism, hope and determination to achieve peace, security and human rights for all. Without education – especially for those suffering in wars, climate disasters and as forcibly displaced – how can we ever achieve the vision of the United Nations? The price is being paid by In the senseless war in Ukraine, we see first-hand deliberate attacks on schools and other civilian targets. Education is the very foundation.
