THE SECRETARY-GENERAL MESSAGE TO MARK THE 100-DAY COUNTDOWN TO THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE 13 June 2024
23 June 2024
As we begin the 100-day countdown to Peace Day, let us plant the seeds for non-violence, justice and hope.
Every year on 21 September, the United Nations invites the world to mark the International Day of Peace. This year’s focus is on “Cultivating a culture of peace”.
In a world mired by conflict, inequalities and discrimination, we must strive ever harder to promote dialogue, empathy and human rights for all.
As we begin the 100-day countdown to Peace Day, let us plant the seeds for non-violence, justice and hope.
