International Day of Peace

September 21, 2009

Objective:
In 2001, the UN adopted a new resolution 55/282 declaring 21 September of each year as the International Day of Peace.

In 1981 the United Nations General Assembly passed resolution 36/67 declaring an International Day of Peace. In 2001, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a new resolution 55/282 declaring 21 September of each year as the International Day of Peace.

The goal of the International Day of Peace Vigil is: "To encourage the observation of a worldwide, grassroots 24-hour vigil for peace and nonviolence on the International Day of Peace, 21 September, in every house of worship and place of spiritual practice, by all religious and spiritually based groups and individuals, and by all men, women and children who seek peace in the world."

Support this worldwide initiative by committing to hold a 24-hour vigil on 21 September. Please register your commitment on the web site of the International Day of Peace Vigil so that the world can know the power of prayer in manifesting peace on earth.
