International Day of Happiness

The International Day of Happiness is celebrated worldwide every 20 March and was conceptualised and founded by Jayme Illien to advance a new paradigm which achieves the UN’s global goals and the happiness, wellbeing, and freedom of all life on earth.

The inspiration for the international day of happiness came from Illien’s belief that the happiness, wellbeing, and freedom of all life on earth is the ultimate purpose of every human being, nation, and society.

Illien developed his vision for global happiness as humanity’s ultimate purpose through a life spent saving orphaned and abandoned children, and theorising about solutions to the human condition and the great challenges facing humankind, after he himself was rescued as an orphan by missionaries of Mother Teresa, who named him Adam, and sent him to live in America.

In 2008, Illien launched a United Nations project which, along with several UN based policy initiatives, envisioned the creation of the international day of happiness as a global day of awareness, which commemorates and recognises happiness as a human right, and a fundamental, universal human goal, and calls for a new human development paradigm which achieves the happiness, wellbeing, and freedom of all life on earth. 

In 2012, UN resolution 66 281: International Day of Happiness was adopted with the unanimous consensus of all 193 Member States of the UN General Assembly, and the support of then UN Secretary General Ban Ki moon, declaring March 20 as the international day of happiness. Illien chose 20 March for its significance as the March equinox, a universal phenomenon felt simultaneously by all of humankind.

In 2012, the United Nations also hosted the first high level meeting on Happiness and Well-being: Defining A New Economic Paradigm at which UN Secretary General Ban Ki moon declared “we need a new economic paradigm that recognises the parity between the three pillars of sustainable development. Social, economic, and environmental well-being are indivisible. Together they define gross global happiness.” Secretary General Ban Ki moon also emphasised the importance of the new international day of happiness in his closing remarks to the 66th session of the UN General Assembly, “Mr. President, during your tenure, the General Assembly also instituted a new observance on the UN calendar: the International Day of Happiness. Let us hope that through our work, including in the new session that begins tomorrow, we can turn that aspiration into reality.”

On March 20, 2013, the first ever international day of happiness was celebrated with the launch of UNIDOHappiness, and the “Ten Steps to Global Happiness” campaign theme, which has become an annual tradition and campaign theme. The ten steps to global happiness are “ten easy steps any individual, organisation, or country, can take on the international day of happiness and throughout happiness week to celebrate the international day of happiness, while also advancing the happiness, wellbeing, and freedom of all life on earth by 2050 when the United Nations forecasts global population to reach ten billion”.

Every 20 March since 2013, the International Day of Happiness is celebrated in 193 UN Member states, 2 observer states, and 11 territories.

On the 3rd ever international day of happiness, UN Secretary Ban Ki moon said “Happiness for the entire human family is one of the main goals of the United Nations,” and called upon all human beings to “dedicate our efforts to filling our world with happiness.”

Assembly Resolution A/RES/66/281 states in pertinent part:

The General Assembly, … Conscious that the pursuit of happiness is a fundamental human goal, … Recognising also the need for a more inclusive, equitable and balanced approach to economic growth that promotes sustainable development, poverty eradication, happiness and the well-being of all peoples, Decides to proclaim 20 March the International Day of Happiness, Invites all Member States, organisations of the United Nations system and other international and regional organisations, as well as civil society, including non-governmental organisations and individuals, to observe the International Day of Happiness in an appropriate manner, including through education and public awareness-raising activities …

— United Nations General Assembly, Resolution adopted by the General Assembly on 28 June 2012

Annual Observance, Commemoration, and Celebration

United Nations resolution 66 281 International Day of Happiness calls on all 7.8 billion human beings to celebrate the international day of happiness.

Every year since 2013, UNIDOHappiness, the official home and secretariat of the UN international day of happiness launches the “Ten Steps To Global Happiness” campaign which has become an annual tradition. The international day of happiness is celebrated in 206 countries “through social media, local, national, global, and virtual events, UN ceremonies and campaigns, and independent celebrations around the world, consistent with Article 2 of UN resolution 66 281, and the spirit of UN resolution 65 309”. Highlights include, among other events, the hashtag “#InternationalDayOfHappiness” trending on social media, and the UN’s launch of the World Happiness Reports, a ranking of the world’s happiest countries.

Notable observances

2013 The first International Day of Happiness was celebrated and launched with Ndaba Mandela, grandson of the late President of South Africa Nelson Mandela and Chelsea Clinton, daughter of US President Bill Clinton and US Senator and Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton at the TedXTeen conference in New York, NY. The United Nations and the United Nations Foundation also held ceremonies and celebrations.

2014 The second International Day of Happiness was promoted by Pharrell Williams and the United Nations Foundation with the world’s first 24-hour music video to the song “Happy”. Global citizens around the world were called upon to make their own music video to the song to make the first ever globally crowdsourced 24 hour global music video.

2015 The third International Day of Happiness was promoted by Pharrell Williams, the United Nations and the United Nations Foundation among other global campaigns. Pharrell Williams made a speech at the United Nations General Assembly where he proclaimed “Happiness is your birthright” and asked for action on climate change. Google created a home page takeover which received more than 3.5 billion impressions. Google also initiated a campaign where Pharrell would pop up at random and dance in their google hangouts feature.

History and Background

In 2011, Illien brought the idea and concept of creating a new global day of awareness, the International Day of Happiness, to senior United Nations Officials.

Jayme Illien, founder of the International Day of Happiness, and Illien Global Public Benefit Corporation, gained the support for the idea of the new International Day of Happiness from the President of the UN General Assembly and United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, as well as all 193 UN member states to draft and adopt a new UN resolution to create the new international day, the International Day of Happiness. Jayme Illien authored UN resolution 66/281 and campaigned for its adoption by consensus of all 193 member states.

Illien successfully campaigned to unite a global coalition of all 193 United Nations member states, and secured the endorsement of then Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ban Ki moon, to support the concept of establishing a new official international UN calendar day of observance known as the International Day of Happiness.

Illien authored UN resolution 66/281 “International Day of Happiness”, which was ultimately adopted by the unanimous consensus of all 193 UN member states of the United Nations General Assembly on 28 June 2012. Jayme

Better Way: Delete your WhatsApp and Change to Telegram

Delete WhatsApp, better Switch to Telegram

WhatsApp : Illegal Effect : Hacking is growing at High Risk in future

(1) WhatsApp does not store messages on its servers, so if cybercriminals were to hack into the platform, they would not be able to decrypt any of the messages.

Telegram is a cloud service. We store messages, photos, videos and documents from your cloud chats on our servers so that you can access your data from any of your devices anytime without having to rely on third-party backups. This way local engineers or physical intruders cannot get access to user data.

(2) (a) Additionally, WhatsApp does not have the key to see encrypted messages. By default, WhatsApp stores messages in a way that allows them to be backed up to the cloud by iOS or Android. WhatsApp store in phone storage device occupies more space.

(2) (b) WhatsApp files (photos, audios, videos, documents) and texts occupying too much phone storage device. Read more…Click here to open link.

Telegram provides unlimited cloud storage. This means all your text messages, images media files & documents will be saved on their cloud without losing any data, you don’t need to worry about backup & restore.

(3) WhatsApp: Uncrackable problem of end-to-end encryption: Lack of Security

Telegram Secret Chats are one-on-one chats wherein messages are encrypted with a key held only by the chat’s participants. Note that the schema for these end-to-end encrypted Secret Chats is different from what is used for cloud chats.
