April 27
D)
April 28

Correct Answer : Option (A) - April 25

Every year on April 25, the world celebrates International Delegate’s Day, recognizing the crucial role of delegates who represent their countries at the United Nations (UN). Without these dedicated individuals, the UN would not exist. This day honours the delegates’ commitment to the spirit of multilateralism and their efforts to work together under the UN to solve global problems.

History and Significance

The history of International Delegate’s Day dates back to April 25, 1945, when delegates from 50 countries gathered in San Francisco with the aim of establishing an organization that would promote peace and impose rules in the post-World War II era. Over 850 delegates attended this conference, which lasted for two months.

Determined to create an organization that would preserve peace and build a better world, representatives from diverse religions, continents, and over 80% of the world’s population came together. On June 26, 1945, two months after the first meeting, the 50 countries signed the United Nations Charter, laying the foundation for the establishment of the United Nations Organization.

The Role of Delegates

Delegates at the United Nations are chosen by their respective governments to represent their countries’ interests. They participate in discussions, debates, and decision-making processes at the UN General Assembly and other international forums.

Every year on April 25, World Malaria Day is observed to raise awareness about the prevention, treatment, and control of malaria, a life-threatening disease caused by mosquito bites. Malaria is prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions, but it is preventable with proper precautions and measures. This annual observance serves as a reminder of the global efforts needed to eradicate this disease and ensure a healthier world.

World Malaria Day is celebrated annually on April 25. The origins of this day can be traced back to 2001 when African governments started observing Africa Malaria Day. In 2008, during the 60th session of the World Health Assembly, sponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO), the decision was made to change the name to World Malaria Day, recognizing the need for global awareness and action against malaria.

Significance and Theme :

The theme for World Malaria Day 2024, “Accelerating the fight against malaria for a more equitable world,” aligns with the World Health Day theme, “My Health, My Right.” This theme emphasizes the urgent need to address the inequalities that persist in access to malaria prevention, detection, and treatment services.

As stated by Saima Wazed, WHO Regional Director for South-East Asia, “On this World Malaria Day 2024, we unite under the theme – Accelerating the fight against malaria for a more equitable world. This theme underscores the urgent need to address the stark inequities that persist in access to malaria prevention, detection, and treatment services.”
