British actor Jude Law is calling for global peace by encouraging fans to join a campaign calling for a reduction in violence.
The Sherlock Holmes star wants people around the world to make history by joining demonstrations on Peace Day: a day of Global Truce on 21 September.
On Peace Day in 2008, the United Nations announced a 70 per cent decrease in violent incidents in Afghanistan, and Law hopes the upcoming celebration will see history's largest ever reduction.
He says, "I've been working with Peace One Day for years, travelling into Afghanistan with Jeremy Gilley, the founder, seeing first-hand how this day really saves lives.
"For Peace Day 2012, Peace One Day is calling for and working towards a day of ceasefire and non-violence - the Global Truce 2012 campaign.
"We really want it to work to bring together the largest ever gathering of individuals in the name of peace. Mass participation on Peace Day 2012 will give Peace One Day the leverage it needs to get others involved, particularly the member states of the United Nations. If they see people of our world coming together then they'll act themselves."...

Jude Law can't speak about phone hacking. I'm told this by his publicist before the interview. And when I bring it up during our chat – it's the day after the Murdochs and Rebekah Brooks have given testimonies to the Commons committee – Law smiles and makes a zipping action with his finger across his lips. "I just can't because I'm in legal proceedings and it's in various stages with various people, and part of that is classified, and they've promised to keep it quiet if I keep it quiet, so I've got to be really careful. But believe me, there's an awful lot I want to say, though. An awful lot."

Actor visits east London academy to congratulate and encourage children who made short film on peace theme
Pupils were treated to much more than the usual assembly when actor Jude Law today arrived at a secondary school in the capital to launch a new film competition for the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad.
Law arrived at the Petchey Academy in Dalston with documentary-maker Jeremy Gilley, the founder of the Peace One Day campaign, which argues that 21 September should be an international day of ceasefire and non-violence.
Together, they are encouraging young people to make a short film inspired by the theme of "Truce".
First to make a Truce film were pupils from the school, hence this visit. Law, last seen as Watson in Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes, said it was "a call to action for young people to change the world through creativity and the power of film.

British actor Jude Law and filmmaker Jeremy Gilley have been praised by Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai for promoting peace in the war-torn country.
The pair has been in Afghanistan to urge feuding parties to call a one-day ceasefire - to coincide with the United Nations' global Peace Day on 21 September.
That event was prompted by Gilley's Peace One Day project, for which Law is an ambassador.
And their efforts have been applauded by Karzai, after he met Law and Gilley at his palace in Kabul on Tuesday.
A statement released by the President's office reads: "Karzai praised their efforts and said, 'Afghanistan, too, hopes and makes lots of efforts for the establishment of peace in Afghanistan, the region and the world'."
Afghanistan has been rocked by gunfight and bombings by militant fighters since the Taliban was removed from power with the help of the U.S. and U.K. armed forces in 2001, in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Actor Jude Law is calling for a ceasefire in war-torn Afghanistan - and wants the feuding parties to acknowledge a day of peace later this month.
The Alfie star, an ambassador for British filmmaker Jeremy Gilley's Peace One Day project, is in the Middle Eastern country to promote the United Nations' global Peace Day on 21 September.
The non-violent 24-hour event was established in 2001 after lobbying from Peace One Day campaigners proved successful.
Afghanistan observed the 2007 Peace Day, and the break in fighting allowed health workers to enter the Taliban-influenced regions of the country and vaccinate 1.4 million children against polio in areas previously ruled off-limits.
Speaking at a press conference in Kabul on Monday, Law said: "What we hope to do... is to remind all parties that it is happening and see then what happens through negotiations."
The British actor went on to describe the world as being in a "disastrous state", and wanted to use the Peace One Day project to urge all sides, "whether they are fighting for change (or) killing for change", to "pause".
He added: "And if that pause is simply to allow, as we did in last year's call for action here, vaccinating children or bringing in food... then let's use that."
Law joined Gilley in Afghanistan last year, when they made a documentary about the brief ceasefire, titled The Day After Peace.
Gilley told the press: "We are appalled at the situation in Afghanistan and beyond. Nobody wants people to suffer in the way that they are. That is precisely why we came back."
