Organized by the UN Systems in partnership with the International Association of Parliamentarians for Peace - IAPP and the ITAKA Escolapios Foundation, the session focused on turning legislative commitments into practical pathways for peaceful coexistence. Attendees re-examined mechanisms to make peace durable by expanding spaces for open dialogue, practicing peace as a daily commitment, and cultivating a culture rooted in compassion, patience, and social cohesion. During the ceremony, United Nations Resident Coordinator Dr. Issa Sanogo delivered the official message of the UN Secretary-General.

By uniting parliamentary oversight with UN support and community-level action, the initiative sets a forward-looking vision for a harmonious and prosperous future.
