On 25 June 2026, upon the initiative of the Founder of Peace and National Unity – Leader of the Nation, President of the Republic of Tajikistan, His Excellency     Emomali Rahmon, United Nations General Assembly adopted a special resolution entitled "International Decade for Strengthening Peace for Future Generations." Through this resolution, the Member States reaffirmed their shared commitment to promoting peace, dialogue, and intergenerational solidarity as essential foundations for ensuring the well-being of future generations.

Pursuant to the provisions of the resolution, the General Assembly proclaimed the period 2027–2036 as the International Decade for Strengthening Peace for Future Generations. The principal objectives of the Decade are to promote peacebuilding, encourage dialogue and reconciliation, and foster interaction among generations-including children, youth, and older persons-while ensuring that the needs and interests of future generations are taken into account in policymaking and decision-making processes.

The resolution welcomes the contributions of Member States, leaders, and peoples who have advanced peace, reconciliation, dialogue, and national unity through inclusive political processes, confidence-building measures, post-conflict recovery, and long-term investments in social cohesion. It further recognizes that these national experiences serve as a valuable source of inspiration for present and future generations.

It should be noted that the adoption of this resolution represents yet another significant initiative of the Leader of the Nation at the United Nations General Assembly at a time when millions of civilians across different regions of the world continue to face growing security threats and the devastating consequences of armed conflicts. This initiative reflects the peacebuilding and unifying traditions of the Tajik people and will undoubtedly contribute to advancing the global agenda for a culture of peace.

Moreover, this initiative, put forward by a statesman such as His Excellency      Emomali Rahmon - a leader whose nation endured the tragedy of an imposed civil war, who fully appreciates the value of peace, stability, political security, and national unity, and whose people will never forget the painful lessons of that national tragedy, is both timely and of particular importance.
