UN Day 2012 petition - help us get to 1,000 signatures!

Today, a month before UN Day - 24 October, we are calling on you, our members and supporters, to show your support for the United Nations.

UN Day 2012 is an opportunity for us to celebrate the UN's achievements, reflect on the challenges it faces and show our support for this indispensable organisation. Only by doing so can we encourage our governments to work together for a strong, credible and effective United Nations.

To mark UN Day 2012, we are asking you to do three things to demonstrate your support for the UN:

Please help us to reach our target of 1,000 signatures by signing the petition and promoting it widely to your networks. Together, we can demonstrate that a critical mass of support for the UN exists within the UK and around the world.
