Its path through Congress
- Introduced
- In Committee
A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.
What this bill would do
This resolution expresses support for designating September 2025 as "Peace Month." It notes that the United Nations designated September 21 as "International Day of Peace" to strengthen peace ideals among all nations and peoples. The resolution highlights that Peace Day represents hopes for an end to conflict in all forms. It also mentions the theme "Act Now for a Peaceful World" and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Ultimately, the House of Representatives is asked to support the designation of "Peace Month" and call on Congress to promote peace both at home and abroad.
