title	Commemorate the United Nations' Founding
description	In the spring of 1945, representatives of 50 nations met in San Francisco to draft the Charter of the United Nations. On Oct. 24, 1945 that charter went into effect. Since then, the United Nations has worked to fulfill its primary purpose - maintaining world peace.
