 |
UN Association of Japan donated the Peace Bell in 1954. In honor of the International Day of Peace, the bell is rung twice a year: first on the first day of spring, celebrating the Vernal Equinox, and second, on 21 September to note the International Day of Peace. |

International Peace
Day and Covid-19
The year 2021 gave us a
chance to rethink better possibilities to transform for good, build
resilience, and make the world healthier. The year has helped global
communities to recover from severe down crises and economic recession with the
Covid-19 vaccine development and its distribution in different parts of the
world.
When thinking what it
means to have peace after covid-19 is to shape the future for the better? We
see many regional conflicts, genocides and unjust oppressions coming to our
minds, but we do not speak about them. The Security Council unanimously passed
a resolution in February 2021 that called upon Member States to support a
"sustained humanitarian pause" in local conflicts in response to the
Secretary-General's appeal for a global ceasefire last March. But are these sufficient
to provide support and protection to groups and people who need it? Are these
deadly viral diseases a curse to humanity for talking about peace for all but
not practicing it?
