UN Holidays - United Nations Public Service Day

On June 23, different countries celebrate UN Public Service Day. The holiday was proclaimed at the end of December 2002 and officially documented by a resolution of the UN Assembly. The largest peacekeeping community on the globe calls for this day to focus public attention on the importance of government institutions. UN member states traditionally hold thematic events on the holiday of government workers that are aimed at popularizing knowledge about the state structure and its significant contribution to global development processes. The large-scale celebration is based on the humane concept of universal participation and support of countries, ethical governance and helping the most vulnerable members of society in a planetary context. The main task is to establish trusting relationships between representatives of the civil service and the wider public, based on the principles of partnership, culture of communication, innovation and tolerance. First of all, the importance of the institution of civil service is promoted in peacekeeping circles. It also lays down guidelines that can motivate and guide young people to work in government agencies. For these purposes, reports and articles appear in the media talking about the advantages of public service compared to other formats of work. The holiday is associated with a rich series of events - this is the solemn ceremony of presenting the UN Prize for contribution to the development of civil service in the meeting room of the General Assembly, and the international Forum, and other memorable and festive events. The flagship procedures, of course, are the awarding of the most worthy statesmen. The leitmotif of the holiday from year to year becomes the public announcement of its main dogmas of sustainable development of the world community, maintaining security, strengthening friendly relations between states, improving people's lives and expanding their legal framework. Implementation requires comprehensive reforms, informed decisions by government agencies and new formats for the provision of public services. Russia, as a member of the UN since 1945, traditionally celebrates this holiday of statehood. Back in 1991, Boris Yeltsin made a statement that Russia would take up the baton and continue the USSR's membership in the peacekeeping organization. On this day, it is customary to congratulate employees of municipal self-government bodies, as well as representatives of leading government agencies.
