Global Truce 2013 –September 21st, Peace Day
If we all unite, together we can create the largest global reduction of violence ever recorded on one day – Septemeber 21, 2012, Peace Day – a world record.
Be part of the largest ever gathering of individuals in the name of peace.
You may already know that Peace One Day led the initiative to establish the first ever annual day of global ceasefire and non-violence, unanimously adopted by United Nations member states as September 21 – Peace Day. You may also know that we then proved that the day could work in areas of conflict, most notably in Afghanistan, where Peace Day agreements have led to the vaccination against polio of 4.5 million children in recent years. We are grateful to UNICEF, WHO, UNAMA and other UN agencies for making it a great success.
On Peace Day 2008 the UN Department for Safety and Security announced a 70% reduction in violent incidents in Afghanistan.
These successes and many others led Jeremy to launch the Global Truce 2012 campaign.
Mass participation on Peace Day 2013 will be the key to the success of a Global Truce.
