United Nations rings into its 75th year of service. On this event, w orld leaders came together, virtually, on Monday to mark the 75th anniversary of the United Nations, as the deadly coronavirus pandemic questions the effectiveness and solidarity of the 193-member world body.

Guterres now has taken a lead in pushing to make sure any vaccine for the coronavirus is made available to everyone globally.
