Since 1983 United Nations delegates and staff have taken a moment from their busy schedules to express their hopes for world peace by participating in the Peace Walks.

GENERAL Introduction for PEACE WALKS AT THE UNITED NATIONS

Peace Walks are organised under the co-sponsorship of Sri Chinmoy: The Peace Meditation at the United Nations and a number of Permanent Representatives to the United Nations on:

  • the first day of the General Assembly in September, a contemplative early-morning seven-mile walk for peace begins and ends at V.N. headquarters
  • United Nations Charter Day (26 June) and  United Nations Day (24 October). During the U Charter day in June and the UN Day event in October, nationals of the United Nations Member States walk around a particular section of the U.N. Garden, each country following the other in relay fashion. They carry a copy of the Preamble to the U. N. Charter, in eloquent testimonial to the universal desire for peace. All participants sign a copy of the Preamble.
