International Day of Peace

Each year the 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲 is observed around the world on this day, September 21st.

 

The UN General Assembly has declared this a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace.

 

Established in 1981 by a unanimous United Nations resolution, Peace Day provides a globally shared date for all humanity to commit to Peace above all differences and to contribute to building a culture of peace.

 

Rotary has three core initiatives focused on peace.
