INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE

L’any 2001, l’Assemblea General va decidir que el Dia Internacional de la Pau fos observat cada 21 de setembre, d’acord a la Resolució 55/282. Va declarar que «el Dia Internacional de la Pau s’observarà d’ara endavant com un dia d’alto el foc i de no-violència a nivell mundial, a fi que totes les nacions i pobles se sentin motivats per complir una aturada d’hostilitats durant tot aquell dia.»

He also invited member states, united nations system organizations, and regional and non-governmental organizations to adequately commemorate International Peace Day by conducting educational activities and raising public opinion awareness and collaborating with the United Nations to establish a global ceasefire.

And, in its institutional message, the United Nations states that this day "gives us all the opportunity to reflect on the overwhelming moral, physical and material burden of wars, a burden that we bear in the present and that will also weigh on future generations".

There is a concept of peace that has negative connotations. It is the definition that says that peace is the absence of violence. We must take into account that there are two types of violence: direct and explicit (stabbings, bombs, wars...) and the other type is less explicit and more structural, for example, everything that has to do with the lack of conditions to have a decent life.
