International Day Of Multilateralism And Diplomacy For Peace
International Day of Multilateralism and Diplomacy for Peace is a holiday observed annually on April 24th, designed to foster friendly relations among countries for the sole purpose of maintaining peace between them.
Multilateralism is just one tool used by the United Nations to try to bring countries together in the spirit of world peace and security. This holiday is one of the tools to achieve this goal. With that said, there are a number of reasons why this holiday should be observed not just by governments but also by citizens, and we’ll explore some of them in this holiday guide.
The History of International Day of Multilateralism and Diplomacy for Peace
This holiday was established on December 12th, 2018, by the United Nations. It was created through the passage of UN Resolution A/RES/73/127 and was first observed on April 24th, 2019.
This resolution reaffirmed the UN Charter, acknowledged the role of diplomacy and multilateralism, and recognized the UN as the most representative international organization dedicated to multilateralism. The holiday created by this resolution has been observed every year since its creation.

- Multilateralism occurs between at least three countries.
- Multilateralism is a collaboration between nations with the purpose of providing solutions for problems that face them all.
- Multilateralism is based on solidarity, inclusion, and consultation.
Observing the International Day of Multilateralism and Diplomacy for Peace
The primary purpose of this holiday is to spread the news about diplomacy and multilateralism, and we think that ordinary people can help spread the word as well as anyone.
People can ensure that they spread the news about this holiday through social media or by telling friends and family members about it. This is also a good day to learn more about multilateralism and to find out some of the ideas being offered up toward this goal.
