International Day of Peace Sep 21, 2023

International Day of Peace

Every year on September 21, the United Nations celebrates the International Day of Peace, or World Peace Day. Established in 1981 by the United Nations General Assembly, the day begins with the Peace Bell Ceremony held at the UN headquarters in New York City. The bell was a gift from the United Nations Association of Japan and is inscribed with a message of hope: "Long live absolute world peace."
