NZ young people to recreate UN Charter signing
www.chinaview.cn 2005-06-21 16:24:26

    WELLINGTON, June 21 (Xinhuanet)-- A reenactment of the signing of the United Nations Charter on June 26, 1945, will be a highlight of a United Nations youth gathering in Wellington, said the organizer Tuesday.

    The event will be part of a United Nations Youth Association of New Zealand (UNYANZ) New Zealand Model United Nations. Altogether 50 nations including New Zealand committed to the formation of a new world organization 60 years ago.

    "In June 1945 New Zealand and other founders of the UN were just emerging from the Second World War. They were motivated by a vision of peace and cooperation," said Model UN Coordinator, Anne Molineux.

    "That vision is as valid now as it was then and we want to pay particular tribute to it during this 60th anniversary year."

    The recreation will celebrate how far the UN has come in its first 60 years and, by involving young people, look to its future as well, said Anne.

    Youth delegates representing the original UN member states will take part in the re-enactment ceremony.

    The recreation will combine images and excerpts from the original signing with period dress, young faces, flags and the sentiment of a renewed commitment to the United Nations. Enditem
