The International Day of Living Together in Peace is observed annually on May 16. Established by the United Nations through Resolution 72/130 in 2017, the day promotes global efforts toward reconciliation, tolerance, and inclusive peacebuilding. Rooted in the aftermath of World War II and inspired by UNESCO's ideals, the observance encourages individuals and nations alike to engage in dialogues and actions that bridge cultural, religious, and social divides. The day reinforces the belief that peace requires active participation and cooperation to dismantle discrimination and build resilient, harmonious societies aligned with the principles of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 16.
