August 21: Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism

The International Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism is observed worldwide every August 21. Established by a United Nations General Assembly resolution on December 19, 2017, this day aims to honor the victims and survivors of terrorist attacks globally. It emphasizes the importance of the rule of law and the protection of human rights in combating terrorism. The observance highlights the need for long-term rehabilitation—physical, psychological, social, and financial—of terrorism victims to aid their reintegration into society. Many countries, particularly Somalia, Syria, Nigeria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, experience significant terrorism-related fatalities, where victims often struggle to have their voices heard. UN member states are called upon to support and protect the rights of these victims, as neglecting them can undermine global counter-terrorism efforts.
