Understanding the International Day of Peace
The International Day of Peace, affectionately known as "Peace Day," occupies a special place on the global calendar. Annually, on the 21st of September, individuals across the globe come together to commemorate this significant occasion. Its genesis can be traced back to 1981 when it was established through a unanimous resolution by the United Nations. Peace Day serves as a universal moment for all of humanity to prioritize peace above all else, joining hands in the shared endeavor of nurturing a Culture of Peace.
It is worth noting that Peace Day boasts a rich historical tapestry and is supported by a well-established global platform, marked by the eagerly anticipated 100-day Countdown that commences each year. In 2023, the significance of this day will take on an even greater hue as we mark the 20th Anniversary of the UN Resolution on the Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace. This milestone serves as a poignant reminder that our dedication to peace remains steadfast, is continuously evolving, and is shaping a brighter future for generations to come.
