The International Day of Peace was established by the UN resolution in 1981. It was the year 1982, when International Day of Peace was celebrated first. Until 2002, it was celebrated on the third Tuesday of September each year.

After 2022 the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) decided to celebrate the International Day of Peace permanently on 21 September. The main focus of declaring 21 September as the International Day of Peace is to encourage people to work in cooperation and to maintain worldwide peace.

Therefore, every year on 21st September, the International Day of Peace is celebrated.

Peace is possible. If we look at history, most societies have lived in peace most of the time. Today, we are much less likely to die in war than our parents or grandparents. Especially after the second world war since the formation of the United Nations we have avoided any major serious conflict in the world. Although many small scale warfares, civil wars and proxy wars have taken place in recent times too but still our world is experiencing the long peace since the second world war.

And it is also clear that human beings also understood from a long time that peace is very important. As the the first recorded peace movements were the Peace of God (989 AD) and Truce of God (1027 AD) brought about from the desire to curb violence by limiting the days and times nobility could practice violence.
