Last Thursday 21st of September, all over the world was celebrated peace. We all should advocate for peace, justice, democracy and human rights, because they are interconnected. Nothing justify violence to make other comply with something. Resolution through dialogue it is the only way to both people and nations. We all must demand a more peaceful city, state, country and world to our authorities. This post is a summary of four articles. The first was published at https://www.un.org/en/observances/international-day-peace. The second was published at https://currentaffairs.adda247.com/international-day-of-peace-2023/. The third was published at https://northmcd.com/international-day-of-peace-theme/. The fourth was published at https://nationaltoday.com/international-day-of-peace/
The U.N. General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, through observing 24 hours of non-violence and cease-fire. Never has our world needed peace more. This year's theme is Actions for Peace: Our Ambition for the Global Goals. It is a call to action that recognizes our individual and collective responsibility to foster peace. Fostering peace contributes to the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and achieving the Goals will create a culture of peace for all. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said, "Peace is needed today more than ever. War and conflict are unleashing devastation, poverty, hunger and driving tens of millions of people from their homes. And even peaceful countries are gripped by gaping inequalities and political polarization." The SDGs aim to bring us closer to having more peaceful, just and inclusive societies, free from fear and violence. But Without the buy-in and contribution of a wide range of actors including the 1.2 billion young people, the goals won't be achieved. We invite you to join the U.N.'s call to take action for peace: fight inequality, drive action on climate change, and promote and protect human rights. International Day of Peace 2023 encourages we all to be ambitious in our engagement as positive and constructive social agents, to join the movement to reach the SDGs and contribute to building sustainable peace. Together we can help to lead our world towards a greener, more equitable, just and secure future for all. Embrace the possible. That is the call of the Sustainable Development Goals, a blueprint for a better world. We don't have to wait for the future we want. Everyone can join the global movement for change. Unity is at the heart of the SDGs because achieving any single goal requires achieving them all. And this is only possible when people themselves unite for change to give humanity and our planet a sustainable future. We are stronger together, united in action. Each year on 21 September, the world comes together to observe the International Day of Peace. This day, established by the U.N. serves as a reminder of our commitment to peace, non-violence, and conflict resolution. It serves as well as a call for individuals, communities, and nations to work collaboratively towards a more peaceful and just world. True peace, as recognized by the U.N. extends beyond the absence of violence and encompasses the creation of societies where all members can flourish. This day remains vital for promoting dialogue, understanding, and cooperation among people and nations. It provides a platform for bridging differences and fostering a shared commitment to peace. The goal is to build a global culture of peace where everyone is treated equally. International Day of Peace (IDP) is a day that inspires us to work together to build peace. We have seen many times in history, that is, if we turn the pages of history, we find how insensitive nations ruined the future of their neighbours on the basis of bloodshed. Today is the time when everyone is aware of the power of global peace and its positive results, and it all depends on all of us together on how we can establish global peace. Under the IDP 2023, conscience is the highest in the court of justice, where all the courts take the place of justice. Just as darkness can not be removed, only light can do so, similarly, hatred can not be removed by hatred, it can only be removed by love. The International Day of Peace (IDP) or World Peace Day is devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among nations and peoples. At a time when war and violence often monopolize our news cycles, IDP is an inspiring reminder of what we can create together. Peace. Life is better in a world where peace exists and today, we look to those who have been peacekeepers to learn what we can do individually to make the world a more peaceful place. It is more important than ever to promote peace and open-mindedness for acceptance across gender, race and territories. $ 13.6 trillion was the economic cost of violence in 2015. 9,800 was the number of terrorism websites containing violent material by 2015. 5 factors that promote a culture of peace: 1) Seek to understand. 2) Promote economic and social stability. 3) Respect all human rights. 4) Advocate for equality. 5) Choose democratic principles. Why IDP is important? A- It connects us to each other. B- It reminds us to believe in something bigger than ourselves. C- It demonstrates that small actions can make big impacts.
