International Day of Peace, 21st September

WHAT IS THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE?

The International Day of Peace ("Peace Day") is observed around the world each year on 21st September. Established in 1981 by 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.

This is a long-established universal website that serves all involved in Peace Day, beginning annually with the 100-day Countdown.

Let us all create Peace Day every day!

Act Now for a Peaceful World

In a time of turbulence, tumult, and uncertainty, it is critical for everyone to take concrete action to mobilise for peace.

From peacekeepers on the front lines of conflict, to community members, to students in classrooms around the world, everyone has a role to play. We must speak up against violence, hate, discrimination, and inequality; practice respect; and embrace the diversity of our world.

There are many ways to act right now. Spark conversations about the urgent need for understanding, non-violence, and disarmament. Volunteer in your community, listen to voices different from your own, challenge discriminatory language in your workplace, report bullying both online and off-line, and take the time to verify facts before you post on social media.

You can also speak up with your choices, opting to purchase items from socially-conscious brands, or donating to organisations that promote sustainability and human rights.

The United Nations also works in each of these areas, leading global efforts to advance human rights, fight climate change, and prevent and respond to conflict.
