Pic of the Week : International Day of Peace

The International Day of Peace, also known as “Peace Day”, is observed around the world each year on 21 September. Peace Day was established in 1981 by unanimous United Nations resolution, and provides a globally shared date for all humanity to commit to Peace above all differences and to contribute to building a culture of Peace.

This year, Peace Day celebrates the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In honour of this, our Pic of the Week this week is an image taken by Faramarz Zareian and aptly named ‘Peace’.
