The United Nations was founded after the Second World War with the aim of protecting future generations from the devastating effects of war. The organization has achieved remarkable success in promoting international cooperation and addressing a wide range of global challenges.
In 1997, the UN General Assembly proclaimed the year 2000 as the International Year for a Culture of Peace. In 1998, it declared the period 2001-2010 as the International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for Children of the World. In 1999, the General Assembly adopted the Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace, which serves as the universal mandate for the international community, particularly the United Nations system, to promote a culture of peace and non-violence that benefits all of humanity, including future generations.
The United Nations has played a leading role in the prevention and resolution of conflicts, the promotion of peace and security, and the protection and promotion of human rights.
This day serves as a reminder of the importance of fostering a culture of peace, understanding, and cooperation among nations and individuals, and encourages everyone to contribute towards building a more peaceful and harmonious world.
