 "Germany's 50-year UN journey: A milestone in global diplomacy " Fifty years ago, on September 18, 1973, two German states became members of the United Nations, an event that defied diplomatic norms. This significant moment occurred by New York's East River and held immense historical weight. Nearly three decades after Germany's initiation of the Second World War and the tragic Holocaust, which caused untold suffering to millions, this day marked the return of a once "defeated enemy nation" to the global community. We remain deeply appreciative of this return, viewing it as an ongoing responsibility. Germany's UN membership came 28 years after the organization's establishment. It symbolizes our acknowledgment of German culpability and unwavering commitment to the principles enshrined in the UN Charter – a world built on the foundation of law rather than the rule of the strong.
