United Nations International Day of Peace 2009
Disarm Now for A Better World
Organized by the United Nations Department of Public Information in association with Pathways to Peace, United Religions Initiative & World Peace Prayer Society
September 21st is the International Day of Peace, officially recognized by the UN General Assembly and organizations around the world. A UN resolution adopted in 2001 calls for a global ceasefire and non-violence on the International Day of Peace—"an invitation to all nations and people to honor a cessation of hostilities for the duration of the Day." Watch footage from the September 2009 Observance at the United Nations where young people gathered to listen to UN Messengers of Peace and other activists discuss the dangers of nuclear weapons and the need to take action now for a better world. May peace prevail on earth!
