As its name indicates, the UN encourages tolerance by encouraging respect for diverse cultures and people. The objective of the day is to raise people’s awareness about the dangers of intolerance. The main reason for creating this day was to spread the idea that tolerance is an important aspect of society both for the general public and for students in educational institutions.
History
UNESCO adopted the Declaration of Principles on Tolerance on November 16 of the same year that the UN declared 1995 the Year of Tolerance. In 1995, the UN decided to create the International Day of Tolerance to commemorate Mahatma Gandhi’s 125th birthday.
The celebrations were sponsored in 1995 by Madanjeet Singh, who later served as a UN goodwill ambassador. Madanjeet has made a significant contribution to inter-communal harmony and peace through his lifelong commitment to promoting tolerance.
Meaning
The day is observed to promote tolerance and educate people about how it affects various socioeconomic and cultural groups. Tolerance must be promoted both on a personal and professional level to make the world a better place to live.
