Jude Law has told Sky News that he wants "as many people as possible" across the globe to "unite for peace".
On Sunday, a concert in Democratic Republic of Congo will kick off a campaign to end violence in the region, where millions have died over many years of conflict.
Special Correspondent Alex Crawford spoke to the British actor about his hopes and aspirations for the Peace One Day project, set up in 1999 by actor-turned-filmmaker Jeremy Gilley.
Peace One Day's efforts were rewarded in 2001 when member states of the United Nations adopted the first ever annual day of global ceasefire and non-violence on September 21.
Speaking to Crawford, Law said: "If we hope to have a sustainable peace plan globally, we have to start with one day.
"At the moment the idea is to have this day celebrated by as many people as possible, for it to be self-sustaining, and then let's look at peace for two days. At the moment we are still working towards one day."
The actor visited a UN camp outside the eastern city of Goma on Saturday, which houses some of the millions of people displaced by the fighting.
When asked by Crawford for his first impression of the scene that greeted him, he said: "Overwhelming."
Law spent time with some of the children at the camp's school, and told them: "I feel very positive for you because I think you all have a great deal to offer.
"The reason I've come and the reason all these people with cameras are here is because we want to tell the world about the positive story and the positive people like yourself and all the children here, around the world."
