Origin and meaning
September 21st symbolizes the ceasefire and non-violence and calls for people to talk about peace.
Originally, World Peace Day always fell on the third Tuesday in September. But in 2001, during the UN General Assembly, the United Nations decided to set this day of remembrance on September 21st.
During the General Assembly, there is a traditional call for a global ceasefire to focus on peace and stop wars in the world, at least for a day.
★ The significance of World Peace Day is to create awareness about the need for peace and non-violence. It is also an appeal to all people to work for peace.
World Peace Day reminds us that peace means not only the absence of war, but also justice and social equality.
