The General Conference of UNESCO held in Paris in 1995, decided to give this day a tribute to books and authors, encouraging everyone, especially the youth, to find pleasure in reading and to respect an irreplaceable heritage of those who contributed to the cultural progress of humanity, so they founded the World Book and Copyright Day as well as the UNESCO Prize for the Promotion of Tolerance in the literature for children and youth.
