The International Day of Peace is observed every year on 21 September. Established in 1981 by the United Nations General Assembly, the day promotes non-violence and a ceasefire in conflict zones worldwide.
It serves as a reminder for nations and communities to foster dialogue, understanding, and cooperation.
The UN encourages people to mark the occasion through education, public awareness, and peace-building activities.
Each year carries a theme highlighting specific global challenges to peace.
Beyond governments, individuals are urged to contribute by promoting harmony in their daily lives, making peace not just an international goal but a personal responsibility.
