#mwcpcare Assembly: International Day of Peace

On Thursday 19th September of assembly focused on The International Day of Peace. We talked about what peace means to us and the rest fo the world.

The United Nations organisation was formed after the Second World War ended.

The world was in a mess. Neighbouring countries could no longer trust one another, and there was no peace.

In 1945, representatives from 51 countries met in San Francisco, USA. The representatives signed an important document with four very important agreements within it.

This special day was agreed upon in 1981 by the United Nations General Assembly with the first official International Day of Peace happening on the 21st of September 1982.
