The International Day of Peaceful Coexistence is observed worldwide every January 28. Established by the United Nations General Assembly in March 2025, this day promotes a culture of peace, mutual understanding, and respect for diversity among different cultures, beliefs, and values. It emphasizes the importance of education in fostering tolerance and achieving peace. The concept of peaceful coexistence is rooted in various philosophies and religions, including Buddhism and Christianity, and is central to ideologies like pacifism. The day encourages dialogue and mutual respect as means to manage differences, reflecting broader themes of tolerance and human rights. It should not be confused with the International Day of Living Together in Peace, which is observed on May 16, nor with other related UN observances such as the International Day of Peace on September 21.
