I have the honour to inform you that, in accordance with paragraph 20 of General Assembly resolution 79/321 of 25 July 2025, entitled ‘Follow-up to the Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace’, I will convene a high-level forum on the implementation of the Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace on Tuesday, 2 September 2025 at 3 p.m. in the Trusteeship Council Chamber.

What is the United Nations doing for a culture of peace?
The meeting will consist of an opening segment and a plenary segment. The theme of the meeting will be “Empowering Youth for a Culture of Peace”. Additional information, including the programme of the high-level forum, will be circulated in due course.
Delegations wishing to deliver statements are invited to inscribe in the list of speakers for the plenary segment of the meeting through e-deleGATE.
