Why Is International Day of Peace Celebrated?

International Day of Peace 2024

The International Day of Peace, often abbreviated as IDP or referred to as World Peace Day, is a day designated by the United Nations to foster peace and non-violence throughout the world. This annual observance serves as a reminder of humanity's shared aspiration for a more peaceful and harmonious world.

Celebrated since 1981, the day's origins can be traced back to a United Nations resolution that called for a global ceasefire and non-violence on this day.

How to Celebrate International Peace Day

Embrace the Theme: "Recover Better: Stand Up for Human Rights"

Each year, the International Day of Peace carries a specific theme to guide the celebrations and actions. In 2023, the theme is "Recover Better: Stand Up for Human Rights." This theme reminds us that peace is not just the absence of conflict but also the presence of justice and human rights. To celebrate this day effectively, here are some thoughtful ways to embrace the theme:

1. Reflect on Human Rights

Begin your day by contemplating the significance of human rights in building a peaceful world. Consider how respecting and upholding human rights can lead to a more just and equitable society.

2. Engage in Acts of Kindness

Small acts of kindness can go a long way in fostering peace. Extend a helping hand to someone in need, volunteer for a local charity, or simply be more attentive to the well-being of those around you.

3. Promote Tolerance and Inclusivity

Take this opportunity to engage in conversations about tolerance, diversity, and inclusion. Encourage open dialogue and understanding among people of different backgrounds and perspectives.

4. Support Peace Organizations

Many organizations and NGOs work tirelessly to promote peace and human rights. Consider donating to or volunteering with one of these organizations to contribute to their noble causes. As a student you can also join student communities support peace movements.

5. Educate Yourself and Others

Knowledge is a powerful tool for promoting peace. Educate yourself and others about the importance of human rights, the history of conflicts, and the steps we can take to prevent them.

6. Organize Peaceful Gatherings

Host or participate in peaceful gatherings, discussions, or events that emphasize the need for human rights and global harmony. These events can serve as platforms for people to express their commitment to peace.

7. Promote Non-Violence

In line with the theme of "Recover Better," take a personal pledge to resolve conflicts through non-violent means. Encourage others to do the same, emphasizing that violence only begets more violence.

8. Spread the Message on Social Media

In today's digital age, social media provides a powerful platform to raise awareness about International Day of Peace and its theme. Share informative posts, quotes, and stories that inspire others to join in the pursuit of peace. This is one of the best ways to use your social media.

International Non-Violence Day: A Related Celebration

While International Day of Peace focuses on peace as a whole, it's essential to note another significant observance: International Non-Violence Day. Celebrated on October 2nd, this day coincides with the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, a global icon of non-violence and peaceful resistance.

International Non-Violence Day serves as a reminder of the power of non-violence in creating positive change. Gandhi's principles of truth, non-violence, and justice continue to inspire people worldwide to strive for peaceful solutions to conflicts.

Theme of International Day of Peace 

Each year, International day of peace has a dedicated theme. The purpose of incorporating themes every year is to throw a light on current issues, spreading awareness, inspiring communities, educating the youth, and creating a sense of unity and common purpose.

In 2021, the theme was built around sustainability through "Recovering Better for an Equitable & Sustainable World". Last year, the UN Assembly addressed the long looming cloud of Racism that has rained a lot of sorrow and misery on many communities and minorities by keeping an aim of "End Racism and Build Peace". On the occasion of international peace day 2023, the theme is "Actions for Peace Our Ambitions for the Global Goals". 

In conclusion, peace isn't about extending an olive branch to someone or putting a full stop to raging wars that has seen mass killings. The world has witnessed a deep divide due to racism, sexism, classism, ageism, climate change, and more! The main objective of international peace day is to recognise our inner peace and cultivate an environment that is safe for ourselves and our future generation.
