This year marks the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a milestone document that proclaimed the inalienable rights to which every individual is inherently entitled. In a world where 32 countries are embroiled in conflict, with drug wars, ethnic violence, and human trafficking on the rise, the importance of promoting and safeguarding these rights is more crucial than ever.
In recognition of this significant anniversary and the ongoing need for peace, the Scientology Network is commemorating the International Day of Peace on September 21 with a marathon television event. This marathon aims to showcase the transformative power of human rights education in fostering a more harmonious world.
Established in 1981 by the United Nations, the International Day of Peace serves as a reminder of our collective responsibility to promote peace. It calls for a 24-hour period of nonviolence and reflection, urging individuals and communities to reimagine ways to create a more peaceful world.
The Scientology Network's marathon is set to spotlight individuals and groups working tirelessly across the globe to instill peace through raising human rights awareness. Starting at 8:00 a.m. ET, the day's programming includes:
