every year on 21 September, the United Nations calls on all nations and people to put down their weapons and reaffirm their commitment to living in harmony with one another… this year’s theme of “Shaping Peace Together” reflects the clarity that we are not each other’s enemies, that we belong to each other and must work together as what happens in one part of the planet impacts all our relatives…
