Croatia marks 22nd UN admission anniversary

Croatia is marking today the 22nd anniversary of its admission to the United Nations

Croatia is marking today the 22nd anniversary of its admission to the United Nations. The General Assembly 22 May 1992 adopted a resolution admitting Croatia as a full-fledged UN member. This act represented global recognition of our country’s independence and sovereignty as well as the pinnacle of its diplomatic efforts.

From an object of international relations and a topic on the Security Council agenda, Croatia has in a relatively short time achieved considerable diplomatic success within the organization, notably membership in the Security Council, ECOSOC, PBC and numerous other UN bodies. Also, Croatia has grown from a recipient to a provider of development aid and has been taking part for more than a decade in numerous UN-led peacekeeping missions as well as in post-conflict rehabilitation of countries affected by armed conflicts.

A proactive approach to the promotion and realization of economic and social policies important for the UN Croatia assumed through a renewed ECOSOC membership, while its 2012-2015 PBC membership sees contribution to the development of democratic institutions and the rule of law as well as to preserving global peace and security.
