In support of Human Rights on World Peace Day

Coinciding with the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Scientology Network commemorates International Day of Peace September 21 with a marathon television event showcasing the power of human rights education to create a more peaceful world.

Established in 1981 by the United Nations, International Day of Peace is celebrated every September 21 and calls for a 24-hour period of nonviolence in order to reimagine ways to create a more peaceful world.
