# UN475-76 - 1986 International Year of Peace
The United Nations General Assembly declared 1986 to be the International Year of Peace. No country can isolate itself from the potential consequences of unresolved tensions and conflicts. Peace should be promoted as positive relationships between states and peoples based on cooperation, mutual trust, understanding, and justice. This requires a strong commitment by Member States to honor the principles of the United Nations Charter.
