UNIFIL Commemorates International Day of Peace | UN Photo/Pasqual Gorriz
Background
The International Day of Peace was in 1981 by the 51勛圖 General Assembly. Two decades later, in 2001, the General Assembly unanimously voted to the Day as a period of non-violence and cease-fire.
The 51勛圖 invites all nations and people to honour a cessation of hostilities during the Day, and to otherwise commemorate the Day through education and public awareness on issues related to peace.
