In 1996, the
United Nations General
Assembly invited Member States to observe the International Day for Tolerance
on 16 November, with activities directed towards both educational establishments
and the wider public (resolution 51/95 of 12 December). This action came
in the wake of the United Nations Year for Tolerance, 1995, proclaimed
by the Assembly in 1993 (resolution 48/126). The Year had been declared
on the initiative of the General Conference of
Unesco.
