On Oct. 20, 2010, the United Nations declared the first week of February the annual Interfaith Harmony Week. That decision came after a series of UN attempts to promote peace and harmony between different cultures and religions in the world. Iraqis warmly greeted Interfaith Harmony Week, despite the grave sectarianism and violence in Iraq for more than a decade.
For the occasion, some groups organized UN activities through UNAMI (United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq), in which Iraqi political leaders, parties, civil society groups and nongovernmental organizations participated.
