International Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of TerrorismThe International Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism is an observance to honour and pay tribute to the innocent victims of senseless acts of violence. The day acknowledges the pain and suffering experienced by victims and survivors worldwide and seeks to provide a platform of solidarity, support, and recognition. It advocates for the protection and promotion of the rights of those who have been affected by terrorism and encourages the international community to come together to prevent and combat this threat. The establishment of International Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism was adopted by the UN General Assembly on December 19, 2017, emphasising the need for supporting victims and their families. In the United Kingdom, the observance holds significant importance due to numerous terrorist attacks that have tragically taken place over the years. The 7/7 London bombings in 2005, the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing, and the Westminster, London Bridge and Finsbury Park attacks of 2017 are reminders of the devastation caused by terrorism in the UK. The day provides an opportunity for people across the country to come together, remember the victims and acknowledge the resilience of the survivors and their families. To observe the day, people may participate in memorial services, moments of silence, and release of commemorative publications. Schools, organizations, and communities also hold educational programs aimed at fostering tolerance, understanding, and the prevention of violent extremism. The date of this observance is August 21 of each year. Facts about Victims of Terrorism
