May Peace Prevail On Earth

International Day for
Preventing the Exploitation
of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict
November 6

On 5 November 2001, the General Assembly declared 6 November of each year as the International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict (resolution 56/4).  In taking this action, it considered that damage to the environment in times of armed conflict impairs ecosystems and natural resources long after the period of conflict, often extending beyond the limits of national territories and the present generation.  It also recalled the United Nations Millennium Declaration, which emphasized the necessity of working to protect our common environment.

"If we are to prevent the environment becoming a victim of war, then equally we need to ensure that pollution, contamination and other environmental woes do not play their part in triggering conflicts in the first place." --Klaus Toepfer, Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
