The General Assembly adopts the Declaration on the Right to Peace

Date: April 7, 2017

The General Assembly adopts the Declaration on the Right to Peace  Abstract: War and peace perpetually alternate. Peace is always seen as an endless project, even a dream, to be realised in brotherhood by everyone all over the earth. Present generations should ensure that both they and future generations learn to live together in peace with the highest aspiration of sparing future generations the scourge of war. The UN Charter is the most solemn pact of peace in history, which lays down the necessary basic principles for enduring peace. Recently, in the context of the joint effort in recognition of the importance of practicing tolerance, dialogue, cooperation and solidarity among all human beings, peoples and nations, the General Assembly made victims strongly condemn war and to openly reiterate their inalienable right to enjoy peace so that all human rights are promoted and protected and development is fully realized.
