International Day of Peace 2016

SBS CELEBRATES INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE 2016 BY ORGANIZING CANDLE MARCH
Wars have somehow always led to pathways of peace in the world. When World War I ended and the Paris Peace Conference was held, it yielded the League of Nations, which would then pave the way for the founding of the United Nations at the end of World War II.

Therefore, it was only natural that the United Nations celebrate the very cause it was founded to champion: Peace. This is believed to be the seed of the idea that would go on to become the worldwide observance that the International Day of Peace — sometimes also called World Peace Day, but only unofficially — is today. It is celebrated on 21 September every year.
