Each
year the International Day of Peace is observed around the world on 21
September. The General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to
strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and
peoples.
To
mark the theme of this year’s 30th anniversary of the International
Day of Peace is the “Right of Peoples to
Peace.” This anniversary offers a unique opportunity to reaffirm the United
Nations commitment to the purposes and principles upon which the Organization
was founded. The Declaration on the Right of Peoples to Peace recognizes that the
promotion of peace is vital for the full enjoyment of all human rights.
The
International Day of Peace was established in 1981 by resolution 36/67PDF
document of the United Nations General Assembly to coincide with its opening
session, which was held annually on the third Tuesday of September. The first
Peace Day was observed in September 1982.
In
2001, the General Assembly by unanimous vote adopted resolution 55/282PDF
document, which established 21 September
as an annual day of non-violence and cease-fire.
The
United Nations invites all nations and people to honour a cessation of hostilities during the Day, and to otherwise

peace.
