There will be international virgils in many countries on August 7th. They're a call for both Israel and Lebanon.

The aims:
-call for a ceasefire
-demand that all governments stop the supply of arms to the conflict
-stand in solidarity with the victims and survivors on both sides of the Israel/Lebanon conflict.

There were vigils during the war in Croatia and Bosnia, but I don't think they helped much. They are probably good for forming public opinion, and you don't feel alone in the world, but they don't touch the centres of power who are the real war lords.
