The International Day of Human Fraternity is observed on February 4th each year. This day was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2020 to promote the principles of human fraternity, tolerance, and peaceful coexistence among individuals and communities.
The date, February 4th, was chosen to coincide with the visit of Pope Francis and Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, to the United Arab Emirates on February 4, 2019, where they signed the Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together. This document emphasizes the importance of promoting a culture of mutual respect and dialogue among people of different faiths and cultures.
