Peace Day 2007
COOK ISLANDS

All United Nations member countries agreed to celebrate September 21, The International Day of Peace as a Global Ceasefire and Day of Peace & Nonviolence in our homes, our communities and between nations. Peace Day has been a focal point for community-uniting and peace-inspiring events since its inception in 1981. Together we can create a more peaceful, just and sustainable world, one heart, one family, one community at a time.

2006 EVENTS

Prime Minister of the Cook Islands, Hon. Jim Marurai: Peace Day is an important initiative, which the Government and people of the Cook Islands will observe in the true spirit of global unity and togetherness. This year, I am pleased to advise you that our commitment is already taking shape in the form of special events, which will be held over the course of two days, in September. Our Peace Council – a committee stemming from the local branch of the Pan Pacific South East Asian Women’s Association – is working closely with Government to stage a concert involving school children, on 19 September. The evening concert, titled 'Te Au i Parataito' (Peace in Paradise), will be a curtain-raiser for our Peace One Day campaign, which will be marked by a special Peace Presentation at the Peace Garden, on 21 September. I shall be encouraging the active participation of Government Ministers and officials in the campaign, so as to lift its profile and practical application as much as possible, and to ensure the Cook Islands joins the international community in celebrating the success of Peace One Day around the world.
