International Day of Peace 2022

International Day of Peace 2022

Established by the United Nations in 1981 in an unanimous resolution, the International Day of Peace was set aside on September 21 of each year to commemorate and strengthen the ideals of peace among all nations and peoples. “Since wars begin in the minds of men,” the resolution states, “it is in the minds of men that the defense of peace must be constructed.” The 2022 theme for the International Day of Peace is “End racism. Build peace.” The Global Peace Foundation encourages our field affiliates around the world to support and contribute to the International Day of Peace by acting creatively to build peace in our homes, relationships, communities and society as one human family.
