At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
You may celebrate this day from anywhere in the world if you enjoy promoting peace by adopting a neutral stance on war.
To encourage peace and have mutually beneficial relations between foreign states, the United Nations promotes celebrating International Day of Neutrality at the global level.
From December 12, 2017, this day has been welcomed as international law.
Turkmenistan, a neutral state, have celebrated this day since December 12, 1995. To mark the importance of neutrality in international relations, on February 2, 2017, the United Nations General Assembly adopted December 12 as the International Day of Neutrality.
Neutrality here means not taking any side in a war or armed conflict; a country that observes neutrality states national policies of obeying the Law of Neutrality, which supports peace and security in international disputes. Switzerland was the first nation to announce its official neutrality in 1815, but Turkmenistan is the only nationally recognized neutrality by the United Nations. The Day of Neutrality was established to celebrate this designation of Turkmenistan as a truly neutral state. Later, the United Nations acknowledged this day on a global scale. Let's take a look at the timeline in the occurrence of this legal status.
In the face of boosting political tensions and natural disasters, it is critical to raise public awareness of the benefits of neutrality so that countries maintain peace and hold friendly and mutually beneficial relations among them. International Day of Neutrality serves as a necessary notion to achieve and maintain the spirit of nations. It has been a custom to emphasize the perception of neutrality with themed notions on this day.
If you want to mark the occasion of this day, educate yourself on the importance of neutrality for discouraging world wars. You can spread the observation among your friends and family and social media too.
Every year on December 12.
Neutrality refers to the nation's legal status and expresses that a nation does not wish to become active in any armed conflict or war.
A neutral state implies certain national policies with specific rights and responsibilities, such as staying neutral and not being exploited in future wars.
This day can play a central role in the prediction and prevention of war through key functions such as peacebuilding, informal consultations, counseling, mediation, special envoys, and the marking of future strategies in crisis areas.
