Accepted answer

The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a holy day of obligation for the entire universal Church (Code of Canon Law, 1246 ยง1).

At the same time it should be recalled that the conference of bishops can suppress or transfer some holy days of obligation with the permission of the Apostolic See (Code of Canon Law, 1246 ยง2).
