In this capacity, the Society has been working in partnership with many spiritual, religious, values-based, educational, and peace organizations. The first World Peace Prayer Ceremony with the flag of each country held at UN Headquarters in the General Assembly Hall was performed on Peace Prayer Day in 1990 with over 2,000 people taking part.
Since 1997, the World Peace Flag Ceremony has also been an integral part of the International Day of Peace program at the United Nations.
