actions, has encouraged the Ministry of Education to celebrate with
educational activities to raise awareness within the student community,
promoting a culture of peace, human rights, democracy, tolerance
and international understanding. Also, the National Congress has
invited the Executive by Resolution dated 16 march 2005, to commemorate
the International day of Peace, celebrating with educational activities
and raising awareness within the public in favour of world peace.
