Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
(1) notes that yesterday, Monday, 21 September 2009, humanity worldwide observed the day as the International Day of Peace;
(2) further notes that this day provides an opportunity for individuals, organisations and nations to embark on practical acts of peace;
(3) recalls that Peace Day is devoted to commemorate and strengthen the ideals of peace both within and among all nations and that this day serves as a reminder to all people that the United Nations Organisation, with all its limitations, is a living instrument in the service of peace, and serves all of us, here within the organisation, as a constantly pealing bell reminding humanity that our permanent commitment, above all interests or differences of any kind, is to peace;
(4) recognises that the new global situation has not resolved the contradictions within and among nations between poverty and opulence to the extent that ethnic, religious and other tensions continue to ravage certain parts of the globe;
(5) believes that peace and friendship amongst all people must be secured by upholding equal rights, opportunities and status for all; and
(6) reaffirms its commitment to and belief in the ideals of peace and alleviation of tensions and causes of conflict.
Agreed to.
