A member of the Tarumi Violin Program performs during the Peace Bell Ceremony on the occasion of the International Day of Peace 2024 (21 September). The theme of the International Day of Peace 2024 is Cultivating a Culture of Peace. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the United Nations General Assembly’s adoption of the Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace. In that declaration the Assembly recognized that peace “not only is the absence of conflict, but also requires a positive, dynamic participatory process where dialogue is encouraged and conflicts are solved in a spirit of mutual understanding and cooperation.” The Tarumi Violin Program, founded in 1986, is composed of talented young musicians from the Greater New York Metropolitan area.
Josh Jorgensen (at podium) from Centre for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC), briefs reporters on "A Call to Action for International Humanitarian Law and the Protection of Civilians". At left is Lisa Doughten, Director of Financing and Partnerships Division of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), and at right is Andrea Canepa from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). Standing at the press briefing area are 75-year-old chairs symbolizing “the seat of duty”. The gesture emphasizes the Security Council’s unique role as custodian of international peace and security, responsible for upholding and promoting international humanitarian law and responsible to protect vulnerable groups. Each chair portrays one letter of the message “War has limits” and symbolizes the collective responsibility to uphold international humanitarian law. Empty chairs symbolize the courageous presence of humanitarian workers at the front line, often risking their own safety to provide aid and protection. International humanitarian law is crystal clear: We must protect and respect UN and humanitarian personnel.
Philippe Lazzarini (second from left), Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), attends the meeting with the Special Political and Decolonization (Fourth Committee). The meeting first heard an introductory statement by the UNRWA Commissioner General and held a question-and-answer period and general debate on the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East.
