"Living together in peace" signifies acknowledging and respecting differences, while maintaining a united and harmonious coexistence. The United Nations General Assembly, recognizing the importance of this ideal, designated May 16th as the International Day of Living Together in Peace. This day is dedicated to promoting peace, tolerance, inclusion, understanding, and solidarity, while encouraging nations to adopt reconciliatory measures for peace and sustainable development.
This declaration is rooted in the historical context of the United Nations, established after World War II to prevent future global conflicts and ensure international cooperation. Over the years, the UN has focused on fostering a culture of peace and non-violence. This includes the 1997 declaration of the year 2000 as the "International Year for a Culture of Peace," and the 1998 proclamation of 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 became a universal mandate for promoting peace and non-violence. The declaration stems from the belief, encapsulated in the UNESCO Constitution, that peace must be actively constructed in the minds of individuals. It is a dynamic, participatory process necessitating dialogue, conflict resolution through mutual understanding, and cooperation.
The Declaration also underscores the need to eradicate all forms of discrimination and intolerance, thereby promoting human rights and fundamental freedoms without any distinction based on race, sex, language, religion, or other factors.
