Today is the International Day of Peace.
The theme TOGETHER for Peace: Respect, Safety and Dignity for All speaks to the very essence of Universal Human Rights -- respect for the humanity and dignity of every person.
The International Day of Peace is traditionally noted by a Minute of Silence/Moment of Peace, observed at noon or when you and your colleagues/students are gathered. By observing the Moment of Silence at noon in the local time zone, the silent call for peace, respect, safety and dignity goes all around the world on this day.
