在其75年的历史中，联合国的成就是不可否认的。除其他外，联合国还通过将人民从外国统治下解放出来，为加速若干领土的非殖民化进程作出贡献；通过各种维持和平行动缓解许多冲突；并通过其值得称赞的人道主义行动拯救数十万人的生命。此外，联合国不遗余力地通过各种发展计划保障各国人民的福祉，迄今最为雄心勃勃的计划仍然是五年前通过的《2030年可持续发展议程》。
In its 75 years of existence, the achievements of the United Nations are undeniable. It has contributed, inter alia, to accelerating the decolonization process in several territories by liberating peoples from foreign domination; to mitigating many conflicts through its various peacekeeping operations; and to saving hundreds of thousands of lives, thanks to its commendable humanitarian actions. Furthermore, it has spared no effort in guaranteeing the well-being of populations through various development plans, the most ambitious of which to date remains the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which was adopted five years ago.
