Established in 1981 by unanimous United Nations resolution, International Day of Peace represents a globally shared day for all humanity to commit to building a culture of peace in communities around the world. As declared by the UN General Assembly, this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, through observing 24 hours of non-violence and cease-fire. Never has our world needed peace more.

Each year, the VCWA’s International Day of Peace event honors an individual who, in VCWA's view, embodies the qualities inherent in promoting international understanding and building ties between the US and the world. See past honorees here.
