Today is International Day of Living Together in Peace. In 2017, the United Nations declared this Day to promote peace, tolerance, inclusion, understanding, and solidarity across the world.
President of General Assembly, Tijjani Muhammad-Bande in a message said that today the world is facing the most challenging crisis since the Second World War. COVID-19 poses a serious threat to maintenance of international peace and security – potentially leading to an increase in social unrest and violence.
He has called for an immediate global ceasefire to work together on the actual fight – defeating the pandemic. Over 100 Member States, diverse regional organizations, religious leaders and more than 200 civil society groups have endorsed this call.
