International Day of Peace, 21 September 2020
Monday, 21 September 2020
The International Day of Peace was established in 1981 by the United Nations General Assembly.
“This year, it has been clearer than ever that we are not each other’s enemies. Rather, our common enemy is a tireless virus that threatens our health, security and very way of life. COVID-19 has thrown our world into turmoil and forcibly reminded us that what happens in one part of the planet can impact people everywhere.”
