这个纪念日首先应该用于思考，尤其是思考联合国的未来工作和潜力，以及我们不断变化的世界面临的新问题。鉴于联合国不断面临各种挑战，这种做法能使其积极有效，它需要不断调整自身的方案和方法来应对这些挑战。在这方面，大会第七十五届会议的主题呼吁我们开展多管齐下的行动：“我们想要的未来，我们需要的联合国：重申我们对多边主义的集体承诺”。
This commemorative day should give pride of place to reflection, particularly on the future work and potential of the UN, as well as the new issues facing our ever-changing world. Such an approach will enable the United Nations to be proactive and effective, given the constant challenges facing it, which call for a continuous adaptation of its programmes and methods to respond. In that regard, the theme of the of the General Assembly at its seventy-fifth session calls on us to take multipronged action: “The future we want, the United Nations we need: reaffirming our collective commitment of multilateralism”.
