More About The International Day of Peace:

A United Nations-sanctioned holiday, the International Day of Peace is observed annually on 21 September. It is dedicated to world peace, and specifically the absence of war and violence, such as might be occasioned by a temporary ceasefire in a combat zone for humanitarian aid access. The day was first celebrated in 1981.
