By Zoila Palma: Today, the United Nations is marking the International Day of Peaceful Coexistence reaffirming the importance of living together in mutual respect despite differences in culture, religion, language, race, or gender.
The UN emphasizes that peace goes beyond the absence of conflict and requires justice, human rights, and sustained collective effort to build safe and inclusive societies.
Peace is one of the 5 pillars of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, alongside People, Planet, Prosperity, and Partnership.
The agenda highlights the goal of fostering peaceful, just, and inclusive societies, particularly at a time when global instability and conflict are increasing. T
he International Day serves as a platform to promote understanding of diverse cultures and values and to underline the role of education in encouraging tolerance.
The observance was officially established on March 4, 2025, when the UN General Assembly adopted resolution A/RES/79/269, designating January 28 as the International Day of Peaceful Coexistence.
