In Preparation for The Right To Peace

Dear Peacebuilding Community,
"The Right to Peace- The Universal Declaration of Human Rights at 70" is the United Nations theme for the upcoming International Day of Peace, September 21, 2018. Since 1984, as a United Nations Peace Messenger Organization, and an original founder of International Day of Peace (Peace Day), Pathways To Peace (PTP) has celebrated Peace Day with you, provided information and support to enhance your Peacebuilding efforts, and shared your Peacebuilding activities around the globe. For decades, we have done so through our website (pathwaystopeace.org), the International Day of Peace website (internationaldayofpeace.org), and our Facebook and Twitter social media pages and website. We are thrilled and inspired that through the goodwill of the international Peacebuilding community, we organically built a strong social media following of connected Peacebuilders.
As we approach the 90 day countdown to Peace Day, it has been brought to our attention that our PTP Facebook and Twitter social media pages have been intentionally compromised by a former PTP representative, resulting in the removal of PTP access and given control to Jeremy Gilley's UK organization, Peace One Day. We regret that this has caused confusion among our Peacebuilding community. Our social media, in the spirit of the Culture of Peace, was thoughtfully published by PTP volunteers, including the late Melvin Weiner, and so many others. In honoring the past contributors and to ensure a future of continued collaboration, we are endeavoring to have the accounts returned to us. While doing so, we felt it necessary to reach out to our Peacebuilding community, whose efforts have generated a platform for the International Day of Peace in the past and for generations of Peacebuilders into the future. PTP joins you in celebrating Peace Day!
As a clarification, for now, we will promote the International Day of Peace efforts through the following pages:
Please follow, like and share your International Day of Peace stories with us as we align with this year's theme.
About Pathways To Peace
Incorporated in 1983, Pathways To Peace (PTP) is an international Peacebuilding organization dedicated to making Peace a lived reality in our world today. PTP is an official Peace Messenger Organization of the United Nations and has Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council. For nearly four decades, PTP has been involved with the UN in conferences, summits, plans and programs of action, and special delegations, including the current Sustainable Development Goals. PTP works locally and globally, inter-generationally and multi-culturally in building collaboration among diverse organizations, programs, communities, and networks, and through the Culture of Peace Initiative (CPI).
About the Culture of Peace Initiative (CPI) and the International Day of Peace (Peace Day)
With participants from around the world, the Culture of Peace Initiative (CPI) is a cooperative local-global Peacebuilding Initiative, uniting the strengths of organizations, networks, projects and people to build a Culture of Peace for the Common Good. The CPI also serves as a vehicle for bringing to light Peacebuilders working along diverse paths, which are exemplary of an emerging Culture of Peace within Humanity. The annual highlight of the Culture of Peace Initiative is the International Day of Peace (Peace Day), which provides an opportunity for individuals, organizations, and nations to work together, on a shared date, to create practical acts of Peace with a year-round impact.
Pathways To Peace (PTP) has worked with the UN to build awareness of, and participation in the International Day of Peace since its inception in 1981, and has been instrumental in helping it grow from a single event of a few hundred people into an annual global observance that now reaches hundreds of millions of people.
Established in 1981 by unanimous United Nations resolution, Peace Day provides a globally shared date for all humanity to commit to Peace above all differences and to contribute to building a Culture of Peace on a daily basis (Peace Day every day).
