peace in various ways on the 21st of September each year; this has been
declared by the General Assembly as a day dedicated to commemorating and
strengthening the ideals of peace within and among all nations and
people; and

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon rang the Peace Bell at United Nations
headquarters in New York City; on September 21st, he called for a
24-hour cessation of hostilities, and for a minute of silence to be
observed around the world at local noon time; and

deployed a record number of peacekeepers to 19 peace operations
worldwide; more than 100,000 blue berets and civilian workers worked to

meetings at UN Headquarters to unite world leaders and those from

peace and security, including the situation in Afghanistan, Darfur, Iraq
and the Middle East; and

 WHEREAS, On June 13, 2009, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon launched a
multiplatform campaign under the slogan WMD, We Must Disarm, to mark the
100-day countdown which lead to the International Day of Peace on
September 21st; and

 WHEREAS, The United Nations continues to raise awareness of the
risks and costs of nuclear weapons, and why nuclear disarmament and
non-proliferation are so relevant; UN Messenger of Peace Michael
Douglas, who has supported the cause of disarmament since 1998, and
American actor Rainn Wilson, joined the Secretary-General in this vital
initiative; and

 WHEREAS, August 12, 2010, was declared by the UN General Assembly as

Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) campaign established to
promote the values of respect for human rights and unity through
generations, communities, religions and civilizations; these are the key
elements which strengthen the foundations sustainable peace; and

and organizations around the world to engage in activities that
contribute to ceasefires, end conflict, bridge cultural divides and
create tolerance; now, therefore, be it
