Peace Day

United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan is calling for the worldwide observance of a 24-hour cease-fire and day of nonviolence to mark International Day of Peace on 21 September 2005.

The International Day of Peace was first established in 1981 by a resolution 36/67 of the United Nations General Assembly to coincide with its opening session every September. In 2001 the resolution 55/282 was strengthened to fix the date annually on 21 September and for it to be a day of nonviolence and cease-fire. The resolution was adopted unanimously by the Member States of the General Assembly.

This year, the Day will be observed at UN Headquarters with the traditional ceremony in which the Secretary-General rings the Peace Bell. Keeping with past tradition, numerous events and observances are planned around the world by United Nations offices, governmental and non-governmental agencies and civil society and religious groups to promote the ideals of peace and nonviolence.

Please observe a one minute silence at noon today for Peace Day.

Keep dreaming Bub. The only way there will ever be peace everyday is if all the humans on the earth suddenly just disappered, no more natural distasters...Hell, the whole earth disappears. And even then, you would have to get rid of all the stars, galaxies and everything then you would have peace forever..but there would be nothing....I'll stop now.

Never say die - it may take a very long time to get there (thousands of years, to be sure), but there is no doubt in my mind that humans are capable of peaceful coexistence.

humans are capable of doing horrbile things to each other and coexisting in peace.

I think it would be more XTREME to be loud rather than quiet.

I always laugh when people say XTREME because that word is not EXTREME. On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being no so EXTREME and 10 being EXTREMELY EXTREME, the word XTREME gets a -100000. You need to learn more about being EXTREME before attempting EXTREME statements.

I really like the idea behind it. There is nothing better than Pacifism.
