UN Secretary-General's Peace Day Statement:
"Peace is a long road we must travel together - step by step - beginning today. Let us observe the minute of silence at noon. Let us reflect on peace - and what it means for our human family. Let us hold it in our hearts and minds and tenderly nurture it so it can grow and blossom."
International Day of Peace 2014 - Video message by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon

UN Messenger of Peace 
Dr. Jane Goodall's 
Peace Day Message to Roots and Shoots Members and people around the world:

"There can never be real peace on our planet unless we start to think differently and act differently. On this International Day of Peace, let us pray that we will learn to share wealth, conserve our natural resources and show respect for all of life and all of creation so that we will one day live in peace and harmony with one another and all forms of life on planet earth. "
