The 60th Anniversary of the UN “Harmony Bell” Ringing around the World

Secretary General Kofi Annan is striking the “Harmony Bell” at the UN headquarters in New York at the 60th anniversary of the UN foundation on October 24. The bell was donated by NGOs including the World Harmony Fund (WHF). The UN considers October 24, 1945, when most signatories to the “UN Charter” finished the domestic ratification procedures, as the official day of the foundation of the UN.
