The wall was established in 1986, the International Year of Peace and was rededicated to the peace and prosperity of mankind in 2012. 

The International Year of Peace was recognized in 1986 by the United Nations. It was first proposed during the UN conference of November, 1981 by the United Nations Economic and Social Council, with a date associated with the fortieth anniversary of the establishment of the UN.

In January 1985 the Universal House of Justice, the head institution of the Bahá'í Faith, sent a letter of all national assemblies, with responsibilities in hundreds of countries for the religion, to specify goals for the community for the International Year of Peace. These goals included sponsoring activities about the theme of peace which is a priority of the religion: to engage the attention of people to relevant topics related to peace, a publicity campaign encouraging these goals, publishing new literature, and already existing serial publications on the subject.
