The Peace Day Global Broadcast is an annual charitable humanitarian event coordinated through the cooperation of LiveSteam, Unity Foundation, UBIEE, ShockRa Entertainment, Xeden, PeacePortal.mobi, and GlobaLink TotalVision Network.

The International Day of Peace, also known as the World Peace Day, occurs annually on September 21. It is dedicated to peace, or specifically the absence of war, such as might be occasioned by a temporary ceasefire in a combat zone. It is observed by many nations, political groups, military groups, and peoples. The first year this holiday was celebrated was 1981.

To inaugurate the day, the "Peace Bell" is rung at UN Headquarters. The bell is cast from coins donated by children from all continents. It was given as a gift by the Diet of Japan, and is referred to as "a reminder of the human cost of war." The inscription on its side reads: "Long live absolute world peace."

History of Peace Day:
1981: The United Nations General Assembly declared, in a resolution sponsored by the United Kingdom and Costa Rica, the third Tuesday of September (the opening day of regular sessions of the General Assembly) as the International Day of Peace devoted to commemorating and strengthening the ideals of peace.

Tuesday, September 21, 1982, was the first occurrence of the International Day of Peace.

In 2001, the day was changed from the third Tuesday to specifically the twenty-first day of September.

In 2005, United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan called for the worldwide observance of a 24-hour cease-fire and day of nonviolence to mark the Day.
In 2006, then Secretary-General Kofi Annan rang the Peace Bell for the last time during his term in office. That year the UN asserted the "many ways it works
In 2009 the first ever Peace Day Global Broadcast took place
