International Day of Peace

A Day Devoted to Strengthening the Ideals of Peace](http://internationaldayofpeace.org/)

“International Day of Peace (“Peace Day”) is observed around the world each year on 21 September. Established in 1981 by resolution 36/37, the United Nations General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples… Anyone, anywhere can celebrate Peace Day. It can be as simple as lighting a candle at noon, sitting in silent meditation, or doing a good deed for someone you don’t know. Or it can involve getting your co-workers, organization, community or government engaged in a large event.”

Please feel free to use this thread (through wishes and/or images etc.), to wish everyone on GupShup and around the world, a Happy International Day of Peace!

By the way, if you click on A Day Devoted to Strengthening the Ideals of Peace](http://internationaldayofpeace.org/) (to visit the linked website), and go to the “Find Events Near You” section, you’ll notice that there were several events hosted for Peace Day in Pakistan this year. :rose: Hopefully there will be even more such events in Pakistan (and other parts of the world), as well as more attendees in the years to come.

Why not have an International decade of peace. Followed by another decade. And another. And another.
