The U.N. International Day of Peace was started in 1981 as a day to announce and celebrate ceasefires in conflict areas around the world. It began as a moveable date taking place on the opening day of each new Session of the U.N. General Assembly in September. In 2001 the opening day of the new U.N. Session was scheduled for September 11th. So the International Day of Peace actually coincided with the tragedy of 9/11. A U.N. resolution permanently fixed the International Day of Peace on September 21st.
All agents of social change who recognize their own work in one or more of the 11 Days - 11 Ways themes, as well as those who provide the financial support that makes their work possible, are invited to join in this global campaign of unity.
May Peace Prevail on Earth
