UN General Assembly
2021

In 1990 we were able to transition peacefully to a democratic system without a single bullet being fired. We have no territorial or border disputes with our neighbours, no religious or ethnic conflicts. Mongolia is pursuing a peaceful, open, independent and multi-pillar foreign policy. With a view to building an intellectual immunity to war in human beings, we are therefore proposing an initiative to observe 2 September — the day that the devastating Second World War, which involved more than 100 million people from more than 30 countries and took the lives of millions, ended — as the international day to commemorate humankind’s victory over war. We are confident that the countries and peoples of the world will support our initiative.
