According to the decision of the UN General Assembly dated November 30, 1981, September 21 is celebrated annually as the International Day of Peace. 192 countries of the world unanimously voted in favor of this decision. In 1999, director Jeremy Gilley created "Pease one day" about the main problems of human society and issues that need to be solved relatively urgently.

The International Day of Peace begins with the ringing of the "Peace Bell" at the UN Headquarters in New York. The International Day of Peace has become an opportunity to hear the pain of billions of people suffering from the consequences of war, natural disasters, hunger and regional conflicts caused by the claims of individual states. On that day in 2007, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon rang the "Peace Bell" and called the world to stop all hostilities and hostilities for a minute of silence.

September 21 is a day to achieve the fight against deep-rooted violence not only among peoples, but also in families and schools.

In connection with the International Day of Peace, a virtual exhibition called "International Day of Peace" was prepared by the employees of the National Library of Azerbaijan.

The virtual exhibition displays photos, articles and books related to the topic.
