International Day of Living Together in Peace

The International Day of Living Together in Peace is an annual observance promoting harmony, respect, and mutual understanding amongst all people, transcending diverse backgrounds, religions, and cultures. This global observance seeks to foster dialogue, cooperation, and solidarity as the foundations for a more empathetic world.

With its roots in the Algiers Appeal for Peaceful Coexistence, the United Nations General Assembly officially recognized the International Day of Living Together in Peace in 2017. The Indian Constitution emphasizes the importance of unity in diversity, which coincides with the ethos of the International Day of Living Together in Peace.

To mark the International Day of Living Together in Peace, cultural programs and workshops are held to inform the Indian populace about the significance embracing diversity. Held on the 16th of May each year, this observance serves as a valuable opportunity for India to reinforce its commitment to maintaining peaceful coexistence and contributing to global peace-building initiatives.
