THE SECRETARY-GENERAL -- MESSAGE TO MARK THE 100-DAY COUNTDOWN TO THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE

13 June 2024

Every year on 21 September, the United Nations invites the world to mark the International Day of Peace. This year’s focus is on “Cultivating a culture of peace”.

In a world mired by conflict, inequalities and discrimination, we must strive ever harder to promote dialogue, empathy and human rights for all. 

 

As we begin the 100-day countdown to Peace Day, let us plant the seeds for non-violence, justice and hope.
