CULTURE OF PEACE
United Nations consideration of the EXAMPLES:
culture of peace began in 1992 with the
adoption by UNESCO of a Culture of Peace
Programme. As the programme
developed during the following decade,
the United Nations General Assembly
began requesting information from
UNESCO about its progress. The General
Assembly then declared the Year 2000 as
the International Year for the Culture of
Peace and requested UNESCO to submit a
draft Declaration and Programme of
Action on a Culture of Peace, which the
General Assembly adopted on September
13, 1999. The General Assembly also
declared the Decade 2001-2010 as the
International Decade for a Culture of
Peace and Non-Violence for the Children
of the World.
