Each year the International Day of Peace is observed around
the world on 21 September. The General Assembly has declared this as a day
devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations
and peoples.This year, world leaders, together with civil society, local
authorities and the private sector, met in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for the
United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development to renew political
commitment to long term sustainable development.
It is in the context of the Rio+20 Conference that
“Sustainable Peace for a Sustainable Future” is the theme chosen for this
year's observance of the International day of Peace.
