World Peace Day
21 September
In 1981 the United Nations General Assembly passed resolution 36/67 declaring an International Day of Peace. In 2001, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a new resolution 55/282 declaring 21 September of each year as the International Day of Peace.
The resolution: "Declares that the International Day of Peace shall henceforth be observed as a day of global ceasefire and non-violence, an invitation to all nations and people to honour a cessation of hostilities for the duration of the Day...
“Invites all Member States, organizations of the United Nations system, and non-governmental organizations and individuals to commemorate, in an appropriate manner, the International Day of Peace, including through education and public awareness, and to cooperate with the United Nations in the establishment of the global ceasefire.”
Secretary-General Kofi Annan has asked all United Nations departments and agencies to expand their observance, extending a special invitation to civil society and highlighting the Minute of Silence at 12 noon.
The World Peace Prayer Society encourages participation by all individuals, organizations and schools. For complete information about the International Day of Peace, please visit:

Peace Day for Young People at the United Nations
Since 1997, WPPS has assisted the United Nations Department of Public Information in producing a program for New York school children at UN Headquarters, including a World Peace Flag Ceremony. The program has featured greetings by Mrs. Nane Annan (wife of Secretary-General Kofi Annan), Under Secretary-General Shashi Tharoor, and celebrity Messengers of Peace including Muhammad Ali, Michael Douglas, Jane Goodall and Elie Wiesel, as well as videoconferencing with children that had recently experienced war.

You Can Be a Part of It!
Around the world, people will be planting Peace Poles, re-dedicating their Peace Poles, conducting World Peace Prayer Ceremonies, participating in community service projects, and observing the International Day of Peace in service and prayer for peace. You are encouraged to commemorate the day in whatever way you feel appropriate, whether that means organizing a large program with thousands of others, or silently taking a moment for peace by yourself. Remember to include the prayer May Peace Prevail on Earth!
