Peace
Day
Grenada
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. Join the Countdown To
Peace and help inspire your community to create humanity's first day
of peace, ever.

Ministry
of Foreign Affairs and International Trade: At this juncture in
global events, the creation of an annual International Day of Peace
as designated by United Nations Resolution 55/282 (2001) manifests
the International Community’s recognition for a cessation of hostilities
and the promotion of peace and goodwill amongst peoples. Grenada will
be proud to commemorate such an aspiration annually and I am thus
pleased to inform you that we will indeed be adding our contribution
in uniting with the rest of the global community in advocating world
peace. Consequently, we have devised a programme to be implemented
as follows: A request to the Conference of Churches to use peace as
the theme for sermons in Churches on the 21st September or closest
day of worship; The conduct of a special assembly by all schools on
21st September, focusing on “Peace” A request to the media to focus
on promoting “Peace” through the programming aired on 21st September
At 12 :00 noon a minute of silence to be held throughout Grenada.
A brief statement will be issued to mark the day, to be aired through
the media. .
