poster of the Day
Every year, on September 21, the international community celebrates the International Day of Peace. This Day was declared by the General Assembly as a day to strengthen the ideals of peace among all countries and peoples, both at the national and international levels.
This year, more than ever, it became clear that people are not enemies of each other. Rather, our common enemy is a terrible virus that threatens our health, safety, and lifestyle. The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown our world into turmoil and reminded us that what happens in one part of the planet can affect the lives of people everywhere.
