International day of Neutrality-Dec 12
December 12th observed for International day of neutrality .Neutrality clear as the lawful standing rising from the non participation of a state from all participation in a war between other states, the conservation of an approach of neutrality in the direction of the belligerents, and the gratitude by the belligerents of this non participation and fairness — is unfavorably significant for the United Nations to gain and sustain the confidence and cooperation of all in order to operate independently and effectively, especially in situations that are politically charged.
As Article 2 of the UN Charter obligates member states to settle their international disputes by peaceful means and to refrain from the threat, or the use of force in their relations, the General Assembly reaffirmed those obligations in its resolution 71/275.
The resolution also underlined that some states’ national policies of neutrality can contribute to the strengthening of international peace and security and play an important role in developing mutually beneficial relations among countries of the world.
Knowing that such national policies of neutrality are aimed at endorsing the use of protective negotiation, which is a core function of the United Nations and inhabits a central place among the functions of the Secretary-General, the General Assembly decided to declare 12 December the International Day of Neutrality, and called for marking the day by holding events aimed at enhancing public awareness of the value of neutrality in international relations.
