SUMMARY:International Delegate's Day
DESCRIPTION:Background\nInternational Delegate’s Day marks the anniversary of the first day of the San Francisco Conference\, also known as the United Nations Conference on International Organization. On 25 April 1945\, delegates from fifty countries came together for the first time in San Francisco. Coming together after the devastation of the second world war\, their aim was to set up an organization that would restore world peace and impose rules on the post-war world order. \n850 delegates took part in this conference\, which lasted for two months. They represented over eighty per cent of the world’s population\, people of every world religion and continent; all determined to set up an organization\, which would preserve peace and help build a better world. \nTwo months after the first meeting\, on 26 June 1945\, the Charter of the United Nations was signed by representatives of the 50 countries that attended the conference. The agreement resulted in the creation of the United Nations\, an organization that now comprises 193 Member States and serves as the main international venue for collective dialogue between the delegates of its Member States. Poland\, which did not have a government at the time of the conference\, signed the charter later\, hence bringing up the number of the Founding Member States to 51. \nIn its resolution 73/286 from 2 April 2019\, the General Assembly recalls the achievement of the San Francisco Conference and proclaims 25 April as International Delegate’s Day. \n\nEntrusted by the peoples of the world\nDelegates 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. \nThe 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 UN General Assembly\, and other fora\, such as the UN Security Council. The delegates are appointed by their countries. Hence\, they follow the interests of the government they serve. \nIn order to raise awareness of the role of the representatives and delegates of the Member States to the United Nations\, the UN General Assembly has proclaimed 25 April as International Delegate’s Day. \nWith the adoption of resolution 73/286\, the General Assembly recognizes the crucial role of the delegates in fulfilling the main goals of the United Nations. Part of the delegates’ tasks is to live up to these goals\, whether it is maintaining international peace\, encouraging respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms\, or promoting effective multilateralism. \n#DelegatesDay \nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:International Girls in ICT Day
DESCRIPTION:In 2024\, International Girls in ICT Day will be celebrated on 25 April. This year the main ITU celebration will be held in the Philippines and kindly hosted by the Department of Information and Communication Technology (DICT). \nThis year’s theme for the Girls in ICT day celebrations is “Leadership“\, to underscore the critical need for strong female role models in science\, technology\, engineering\, and mathematics (STEM) careers. \nAlthough women now fill 40% of high-skill occupations globally\, their participation in ICT-related fields continues to be low. \nWomen are nearly absent from software development\, engineering\, technology research\, academia as well as at the highest levels of policy making. They also tend to leave science and technology jobs at higher rates than men. \nWhile there is a leadership gender gap in every industry\, the largest gaps are found in the STEM fields. Women in ICT often find themselves in junior or support roles rather than in managerial roles\, with little opportunity for advancement. They are also less likely to hold an executive position\, become ICT entrepreneurs\, or be represented among science and technology policymakers. \nTo thrive in STEM\, girls and young women must be exposed to women in leadership positions\, fostering inspiration and breaking down barriers that hinder their progress. The Girls in ICT Day 2024 theme aims to address these challenges\, encouraging empowerment and leadership development for a more equitable future in STEM. \nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.
