In 1947 the United Nations Assembly declared October 24th the anniversary of it’s day of observance. In 1971 it was declared that the day would become an international holiday and was to be recognized as a public holiday by all members of state.

| Why can't we be friends? |
Different countries adapted different dates and generally the event became blurred into some kind of recognition, during the week of October 20th to 26th.
There are meetings, discussions, exhibits and cultural performances and it is supposed to be an opportunity to unite the Nations in solidarity. It originally was based on the coming together to stop indignities as they applied to War. After an “entry into force” in 1945, the ratification of this founding “law” was the international equivocal assertion of Mother World putting her foot down to discipline a few wayward country offspring.
Although not really recognized here in my Canadian City, I do take note because I personally would like to see efforts made about the lack of a global Green Awakening, noting it - as a crime against humanity. I personally pray for war efforts to be reduced and hope that mankind may one day realize that if we can’t get along then at very least, we should try to avoid each other.
Civility is not a difficult word. Love can only be had - when both sides play nice. And.... wouldn't it be nice to play upon a healthy land that we all, take part in caring for?
