Today, the United Nations Association of Guyana (UNAG) and its affiliate Community Peace Councils will observe Guyana’s 46th Anniversary of Guyana’s admission to the United Nations; and tomorrow, we will observe United Nations International Day of Peace.
UNAG has particularly chosen to observe the 46th Anniversary of Guyana’s admission to the United Nations in honour of the renowned Guyanese author E.R. Braithwaite, who was the first accredited Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Guyana to the United Nations in 1966 and who recently visited here earlier this year.
On Friday, International Day of Peace will be observed by members of the United Nations Association of Guyana, the UN Staff members, the BramhaKumaris and Youth Groups, by assembling at the premises of the United Nations Development Programme, Brickdam, at 11.30 am when the message by the United Nations Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, will be delivered after which a minute’s silence will be observed at 12.00 noon for Peace in Guyana and the rest of the World.
In continuing observance of both of these important events, our Association will hold an International Tea Party at the premises of the Theatre Guild, Kingston, Georgetown, on September 22, 2012, commencing at 3.00 pm.
These events are being observed and held in cooperation with the UN System in Guyana and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Throughout the ensuing years the Association has launched several programmes for promoting Peace, Justice, Human rights and Democracy.
