The International Day for Tolerance is marked every
year on 16 November in order to
create awareness about the
principles of tolerance. It is a day for respecting the cultures, beliefs and traditions of others and understanding
the risks posed by intolerance.
On 16 November 1995, the member states of the UN
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) adopted the Declaration of Principles on Tolerance. The
Declaration calls for celebrating an
international day on the subject in
order to educate people about the values
of tolerance.
