In aftermath of Typhoon “Yolanda” in 2013, the United Nations was one of the first organizations to commit assistance to victims of the calamity, Valte said. This required all five permanent members of the Security Council – the United States, China, France, the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union – as well as a majority of the 51 original signatories, to ratify the founding document. “As we shine a light on this milestone anniversary, let us reaffirm our commitment to a better and brighter future for all”.
