THE PEACE ONE DAY CONCERT CELEBRATING GLOBAL TRUCE 2012

Peace One Day started 10 years ago. Peace One Day led the initiative to establish the first ever annual day of global ceasefire and non-violence, unanimously adopted by United Nations member states as 21 September – Peace Day. Peace Day actions have been introduced in areas of conflict, most notably in Afghanistan, where Peace Day agreements have led to the vaccination against polio of 4.5 million children in recent years. 

For Peace Day 21 September 2012, Peace One Day called for a day of ceasefire and non-violence across the world  - the Global Truce 2012 campaign.
