International observance

This is not a list of National Days, commemorative days, or days which have some significance in one or a very

small number of countries.

International observance (also known as international dedication or international anniversary) denotes a period of

time to observe some issue of international interest or concern. This is used to commemorate, promote and mobilize

for action. Many of these periods have been established by the United Nations General Assembly, Economic and

Social Council or by UNESCO. In this case, the lead agency for a particular international observance uses the

symbolism of the United Nations (UN) or UNESCO, a specially designed logo for the year, and their infrastructure

to coordinate events worldwide. It also presents a written report about the event. This summarizes the activities that

took place around the world under the auspices of the international observance, and makes recommendations for the

future.
