“Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.”
Child writer Vaishali.
The “International Day of Peace” is celebrated on September 21 every year by the United Nations. On this day, the UN sends invitations to nations and people to honor a cessation of hostilities during the day and also to commemorate the day through education and public awareness on issues related to peace. This day is also called World Peace Day.
As UPSC surprises aspirants with questions linked to what is usually assumed to be trivia, it is advisable that one scroll through the facts about the International Day of Peace to get the basic information. It can be asked in UPSC Prelims from the section on current affairs, if at all asked.
The International Day of Peace was established in 1981 by the United Nations General Assembly.
Then two decades later, in 2001, the UN General Assembly unanimously voted to designate the Day as a period of non-violence and cease-fire by adopting Resolution 53/243 B: Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace.
