International Day of Peace, Sept. 21st, 2007
Hi folk, tomorrow is International Day of Peace. Please read the passage below. I wonder if we can do something together for that. Something fun…ursh…what the hell this week is…
September 21st–International Day of Peace
Friday, September 21 is the International Day of Peace. On this day, millions of people worldwide will in some way recognize the need to continue working towards peace. It represents a wonderful opportunity for individuals, organizations and nations to create practical acts of Peace on a shared date.
In 1981, on the 20th anniversary of the United Nations General Assembly, a UN resolution declared that the International Day of Peace “will serve as a reminder to all peoples that our Organization, with all its limitations, is a living instrument in the service of peace and should serve all of us here within the Organization as a constantly pealing bell reminding us that our permanent commitment, above all interests or differences of any kind, is to peace. May this Peace Day indeed be a day of peace.”
