INTERNATIONAL PEACE DAY 30th ANNIVERSARY
The UN General Assembly declared in 1981 that the opening day of its regular session on 21 September will be officially dedicated and observed as the International Day of Peace, devoted to commemorating and strengthening the ideals of peace both within and among all nations and peoples. Young women and men everywhere are demonstrating the power of connection by reaching out to each other, and rallying together, in the common cause of the dignity and human rights to which their peoples aspire. For this year's International Day of Peace observance on September 21, the UN has chosen the theme of "Make Your Voice Heard," under the overall idea of peace and democracy. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the International Day of Peace.
