Today marks the 31st anniversary of Azerbaijan's full membership in the United Nations. Azerbaijan joined the UN on March 2, 1992, and its state flag was raised in front of the UN headquarters in New York. Since then, Azerbaijan has played a crucial role in establishing relations with the international community and conveying the voice of its people to the world. Azerbaijan has worked to draw attention to the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict through the UN platform and implement UN resolutions calling for the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. The country has also cooperated with various UN organizations to improve the lives of refugees, women, and children. Azerbaijan was a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council in 2012-2013.
