DESCRIPTION:\n	(A/RES/73/127)\n\n\n\n	The International Day of Multilate
	ralism and Diplomacy for Peace was established on 12 December\, 2018 throu
	gh resolution A/RES/73/127.\n\n\n\n	Preserving the values of multilaterali
	sm and international cooperation\, which underpin the UN Charter and the 2
	030 Agenda for Sustainable Development\, is fundamental to promote and sup
	port the three pillars of the UN - peace and security\, development and hu
	man rights.\n\n\n\n	The international norms and rules-based system that ha
	ve steered nations through seven decades must rise to meet the mounting ch
	allenges of protectionism and isolationism. Global issues such as climate 
	change\, geopolitical tensions\, humanitarian and migratory crises are cro
	ss-cutting\, implicating the values and interests of nations and necessita
	ting collective attention and action. Technological advancement has also i
	mpacted the political and socio-economic landscape and inter-state relatio
	ns.\n\n\n\n	As emphasized in the resolution\, the International Day is a r
	eaffirmation of the UN Charter and its principles of resolving disputes am
	ong countries through peaceful means. It acknowledges the use of multilate
	ral decision-making and diplomacy in achieving peaceful resolutions to con
	flicts among nations.\n\n\n\n	Background\n\n	The United Nations came into 
	being in 1945\, following the devastation of the Second World War\, with o
	ne central mission: the maintenance of international peace and security. T
	he Charter of the United Nations states that one of the United Nations' pu
	rposes and principles is the commitment to settle disputes through peacefu
	l means and the determination to succeeding generations from the scourge o
	f war.\n\n\n\n	Conflict prevention remains\, however\, a relatively under-
	publicized aspect of the UN's work. Meanwhile\, the most efficient and des
	irable employment of diplomacy is to ease tensions before they result in c
	onflict\, or\, if conflict breaks out\, to act swiftly to contain it and r
	esolve its underlying causes. Preventive diplomacy is very important in su
	pporting United Nations efforts to assist in the peaceful settlement of di
	sputes.\n\n\n\n	Commitment to multilateralism and international peace and 
	security was also reaffirmed by most world leaders in the General Debate i
	n September 2018. This commitment was also reinforced in the discussion du
	ring the High-level Dialogue on Renewing the Commitment to Multilateralism
	 on 31 October 2018.\n\n\n\n	On 12 December 2018\, the General Assembly ad
	opted the resolution\, \"International Day of Multilateralism and Diplomac
	y for Peace\" (A/RES/73/127) by a recorded vote of 144 in favour to 2 agai
	nst. By that text\, the General Assembly invites all Member States\, obser
	vers and organizations of the United Nations to observe the International 
	Day in an appropriate manner and to disseminate the advantages of multilat
	eralism and diplomacy for peace\, including through educational and public
	 awareness-raising activities.\n\n
