Washington: The International Day of Peace is being observed around the world today.
According to the United Nations, this year, the theme for the day is End Racism and Build Peace.
The UN General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, by observing 24 hours of non-violence and cease-fire.
As Secretary-General António Guterres has said: “Racism continues to poison institutions, social structures, and everyday life in every society. It continues to be a driver of persistent inequality. And it continues to deny people their fundamental human rights. It destabilizes societies, undermines democracies, erodes the legitimacy of governments, and… the linkages between racism and gender inequality are unmistakable.”
"End racism. Build peace" is the theme for the International Day of Peace in 2022. We cordially encourage you to join the UN in its efforts to eradicate racism and racial prejudice from the world. a society where empathy and compassion prevail over prejudice and hostility. a world in which we may actually take pride.
