Friendship - Nobility of human
30/11/15
International Friendship Day was published in 2011 by the
General Assembly of the United Nations with the idea that the friendship
between the peoples, nations, cultures and individuals can inspire peaceful
efforts and create opportunities to build bridges between communities.
Resolution A / RES / 65/275 was passed by the 65th
General Assembly of the UN which special emphasized on the participation of the
youth as future leaders,to the general operation of the community with many
different cultures and promoting understanding, respect of cultural diversity.
International Friendship Day is also intended to support the
goals of the Declaration and Programme of Action on a culture of peace and the
International Decade of promoting a culture of peace and non-violence for
children all over the world.
International Friendship Day based on the recognition of the
relevance and importance of friendship as a noble sentiment and valuable in the
lives of people around the world.
To celebrate International Friendship Day, the United Nations
called on governments, international organizations and civil groups to organize
events, activities and initiatives that contribute to the efforts of the
international community to facilitate a dialogue between civilizations,
solidarity, mutual understanding and reconciliation.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said the international
Friendship Day was created by a simple idea, but profound that the hostile and
hatred forces in the world can not be comparable to the strength of the human
spirit.
"I had the opportunity a few months ago in Paraguay to
praise the pioneer of Dr. Ramón Bracho and reinforce his belief that friendship
is not only able to build bridges between individuals, which also are the
sources of peace in the world".
According to senior leader of the United Nations, this idea
makes sense when we see discrimination, malice and cruelty are leading to
conflicts and crimes and millions victims are suffering. It is our
responsibility to combat these destructive trends by recalling their commitment
to find common humanity and the progress towards beneficial for everyone.
On International Friendship Day this year, UN
Secretary-General called on all to act to strengthen relationships, unite
individuals and enhance the respect, understanding in our world.
