This day was established in 1981 by the United Nations General Assembly, and two days later the General Assembly unanimously voted to designate the Day as a period of non-violence and cease-fire. The UN 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. There are different themes each year, this year’s being “Shaping Peace Together”.
