International Day for Tolerance
History
The International Day of Tolerance seeks to promote
tolerance, respect, appreciation and cooperation among the world's different
cultures. Tolerance refers to the recognition and acceptance of looks,
opinions, beliefs and practices that differ from one's own. Tolerance is
considered the backbone of human rights and fundamental freedoms as people are
naturally different. Tolerance allows mixed communities to thrive and ensures
that all humans are equally important.
The International Day of Tolerance was designated by the United Nations General Assembly in 1996. It has since been celebrated annually on November 16 by those who strive to unite the world through mutual understanding and respect.
