International Year of Feace and International Day of Peace

:

The General Assembly,

Recalling that the promotion of peace, both at an international and a national level, is among the main purposes of the United llations, in conformity with its Charter,

Reaffirming that, as set forth in the preamble of the Charter of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defence of peace must be constructed, that a peace based exclusively upon the political and economic arrangements of Governments would not be a peace which could secure the unanimous, lasting and sincere support of the peoples of the world, and that the peace must therefore be founded, if it is not to fail, upon the intellectual and moral solidarity of mankind,

Further recalling that, on the basis of similar considerations, the General Assembly established the United Nations University in 1972 1/ and, more specifically, the University of Peace in 1980, 2/ as well as to direct other organs and organizations of the United Nations system to the promotion of peace, mainly through education in all its aspects,

1/ General Assembly resolution 2951 (XXVII).
