Peace Day

Today is the International Day of Peace. It should be a moment of reflection and awareness, a time to consider each of our social privaleges and capabilities, and to consider ways we can each work to foster peace internationally and locally.

The International Day of Peace "is meant to be a
day of global cease-fire, when all countries and all
people stop all hostilities for the entire day. And
it is a day on which people around the world observe
a minute of silence at 12 noon local time. [...]And
let us pledge to do our utmost to carry out the
important decisions on peace taken by last week's
2005 World Summit."

- Kofi Annan,
United Nations Secretary-General

One Day to Consider Peace. It's not enough. But it's a start.
