Every year, to mark the day, the United Nations Peace Bell is rung at UN Headquarters in New York City. The bell is cast from coins donated by children from all continents except Africa and was a gift from the United Nations Association of Japan. The inscription on the side of the bell reads, "Long live absolute world peace". 🙏🏻 International Day of Peace 2023 Date and Theme: Know All About the Global Event That Promotes World Peace.
