100-Day Countdown to the International Day of Peace Theme “Cultivating a Culture of Peace”

20 June 2024

Message of UN Secretary-General António Guterres

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.
