Many people around the world dreamed about the peace day but failed until 2001. The International Day of Peace was established in 1981 by the United Nations General Assembly. Two decades later, in 2001, the General Assembly unanimously voted to designate the Day as a period of non-violence and cease-fire.
This day reminds every individual to work on the peace maintainer process.
Chukha Central School celebrated the day coordinated by Scouts and UNESCO members on the theme: “The Right to Peace - The Universal Declaration of Human Rights at 70”.
