In 2007 Hawaii became the first state in the nation to officially recognize the United Nations’ International Day of Peace, which is now celebrated in more than 200 countries.

The Day of Peace, observed Sept. 21, was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2001 to strengthen the ideals of peace and nonviolence across the globe.
