International Day of Peaceful Coexistence
On December 8, 2017, the UN General Assembly, by its Resolution (72/130), proclaimed May 16 as the International Day of Living Together in Peace, with the aim of constantly mobilizing the efforts of the international community to promote peace, tolerance, unity, mutual understanding and solidarity of people of the Earth.
Peaceful coexistence involves the recognition of differences, the ability to listen, understand, respect and appreciate others, as well as the ability to live in peace and unity. In an international format, peaceful coexistence is a type of relationship between states with different social systems, cultures, histories, traditions, which implies: the rejection of war as a means of resolving disputes between states, and resolving all disputes only through negotiations, and observance of other principles in relations between states, enshrined in international legal instruments.
The United Nations itself was created after the Second World War in order to protect future generations from disasters and the likelihood of new wars. The work of the Organization is to establish international cooperation in solving global economic, social, cultural or humanitarian problems, as well as in promoting and protecting human rights and fundamental freedoms for all, regardless of race, gender, language or religion.
Back in 1997, the General Assembly proclaimed the year 2000 as the "International Year for the Culture of Peace", and next year the period 2001-2010 - "the International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World". In October 1999, the General Assembly adopted the Declaration and the Program of Action for a Culture of Peace, which serve as a universal mandate for the international community, especially the UN system, in the task of promoting a culture of peace and non-violence.
Such a declaration was the result of the development of the concept that "thoughts about war arise in the minds of people, therefore, in the minds of people, the idea of protecting the world should be rooted." After all, the world is not only a lack of conflict, but also a positive, dynamic process of participation, in which dialogue is encouraged, and conflicts are resolved in a spirit of mutual understanding and cooperation. Therefore, all forms of discrimination and intolerance must be eliminated in the society, including on the basis of race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national, ethnic or social origin, property, disability, birth or other status.
And today, on the International Day for Peaceful Coexistence, the UN invites all Member States, UN system organizations and other international and public organizations and individuals to celebrate this date in accordance with their cultural traditions and other suitable circumstances or their local, national or regional customs, including through education and awareness-raising activities.
Biographers Day is celebrated on the anniversary of the first meeting of Samuel Johnson with his future biographer James Boswell.
The meeting took place in one of the bookstores in London in 1763, and the resultant relationship between them was the two-volume, ''The Life of Samuel Johnson'' published in 1791.
The Englishman Samuel Johnson, or Dr. Johnson, as he was often called, was an eminent critic, lexicographer, and poet of the second half of the 18th century. The most famous of his work was the "Dictionary of the English language", on which Johnson worked for 9 years.
