International Day of Peace

September 21, 2010

Today is International Day of Peace (also known as World Peace Day or Peace Day). The United Nations’ (UN) International Day of Peace is celebrated each year to recognize the efforts of those who have worked hard to end conflicts and promote peace. 
 
This week also marks UN Week. The UN General Assembly has convened and the world’s leaders have come together in New York City for high-level discussions regarding the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). There is no greater goal than striving for peace.
