International Day of Peace 2024: Best wishes, quotes, images, and messages to share

Peace isn't an individual's effort but a collective realization that leaves a long-lasting impact on the world. International Day of Peace is celebrated every year on September 21 all over the world. Established by the United Nations, the day envisions a war-free world and one where everyone is united towards working on this goal. The day is celebrated to bring peace and harmony among us and to encourage nonviolence and a war-free community.
International Peace Day was initiated by the United Nations in 1981 to promote world peace and a war-free world. Every year a theme is chosen to focus on issues and make decisions regarding the theme. This year, the theme is "Actions for Peace: Our Commitment to the #GlobalGoals", which underscores our collective and personal duties to nurture peace. Nurturing peace aids in the actualisation of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goal), and achieving these goals fosters a universal culture of peace.
On the occasion of International Day of Peace on Saturday, September 21, 2024, here's a collection of wishes, quotes, images and messages to share with your loved ones:
