International Day Of Peace 2021: Why This Day Is Celebrated?

International Day of Peace: This year's theme is "recovering better for an equitable and sustainable world"

Giving peace a chance is the main focus on the International Day of Peace or World Peace Day, which is observed every year on September 21. This day seeks to remind people of all races and all nations to think about universal peace.

The UN in 1981 first named the third Tuesday of September as International Day of Peace. This day was also when the UN General Assembly held its opening sessions.

The date to celebrate International Day of Peace was eventually changed to September 21 starting 2002.

On this day, the aim is to observe a ceasefire for 24 hours in all areas across all nations where fighting is going on.
