HWPL PEACE INITIATIVES & PROJECTS

 

HWPL is committed to bringing world peace and cessation of war

 

Our essential objectives for achieving peace are manifested in the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War(DPCW),

which aims to eradicate the structural causes of violent conflicts.

HWPL’s interfaith peace communication solely promotes the alliance of religions through discussions based on scriptures to prevent conflicts caused by misunderstandings.

Women and youth who unite together as one to voice their right to continue to carry out substantial coordinated activities in actualization of HWPL’s peace initiatives.

The Legislate Peace Campaign is a global peace advocacy campaign for HWPL’s Law for Peace Initiative.

Currently, over 200 WARP offices are operating around the world to find the best solution to peace through religious texts.

Since 2013, in major cities around the world, peace walks and campaigns to spread a sustainable culture of peace occur every year with various themes and programs.

117 schools voluntarily became HWPL Peace Academies and agreed to design programs and courses to enhance the peacemaking capacities of students in all grades.

International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People 29 November

                                              

Virtual Exibit, 1 December 2020

The writing is on the wall : Annexation Past and Present

This year, the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People will be observed on 1 December with special meetings.

In the UN headquarters in New York, the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, a body of the UN General Assembly promoting the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and independence, will convene high-level officials of Member States, the Secretary-General, intergovernmental organizations and representatives of civil society who are expected to make statements on the question of Palestine and attend the official launch of a virtual exhibit focusing on the Wall built in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, which has been ruled to be illegal by the International Court of Justice in its Advisory Opinion of 9 July 2004.

The exhibit explores this through the words of various advocates and public personalities,

and through images from artists and human rights activists who have used the wall as a canvas to express their solidarity with the Palestinian people.

 

  These events will be broadcast live via the UN Web TV and the exhibit will be available on the United Nations’ website.

 

Activities will also be organized on the occasion by governmental bodies and CSOs in cooperation with United Nations information centres around the world.

 

The UN General Assembly will convene this year for its annual debate on the question of Palestine on 2 December, where it is expected to adopt with a large majority a resolution outlining the parameters for a just solution to this outstanding question.

HWPL WARP Office’s Joint Prayer Against COVID-19

 

 

 HWPL WARP Office’s Joint Prayer Against COVID-19

A key project of HWPL is

🔑 

the WARP office, which carries out comparative studies on the scriptures of different religions to promote better understanding and true religious harmony among religions based on the shared knowledge.

 

In particular, religious leaders from various countries gathered with the WARP offices in different parts of the world as the platform to hold “HWPL WARP Office’s Joint Prayer Against COVID-19,” to support the regional society and the people suffering from one the gravest crisis in modern history called COVID-19 outbreak.

 

In times leading up to the prayers, leaders of various religions conveyed the message that in order to surmount the crisis of the era, we need to gather our hearts rather than blaming and berating each other.

 

The leaders offered prayers keeping in mind the roles they have as believers, and asked the Creator for forgiveness on all the sins of humanity.

 

🙏🙏🙏

 

Also, they confessed how helpless we are before natural disasters and pleaded with humble and earnest hearts to God to heal the pain rampant in the world with His almighty force.

 

Although religion and culture may vary in type, loving mankind and wishing for peace and stability on earth was the same for all.

 

During the event, prayers were for fast recovery of people suffering from the coronavirus, health and safety of medical staff, comforting the heart of those who lost their loved ones to COVID-19, and development of the epidemic’s vaccine and the virus to come to an end.

World Children's Day 20 November

Students at the “25 de Junho” School, located in Beira, Mozambique.

World Children’s Day was first established in 1954 as Universal Children's Day and is celebrated on 20 November each year to promote international togetherness, awareness among children worldwide, and improving children's welfare.

 

November 20th is an important date as it is the date in 1959 when the UN General Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child. It is also the date in 1989 when the UN General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

 

Since 1990, World Children's Day also marks the anniversary of the date that the UN General Assembly adopted both the Declaration and the Convention on children's rights.

 

Mothers and fathers, teachers, nurses and doctors, government leaders and civil society activists, religious and community elders, corporate moguls and media professionals, as well as young people and children themselves, can play an important part in making World Children's Day relevant for their societies, communities and nations.

 

World Children's Day offers each of us an inspirational entry-point to advocate, promote and celebrate children's rights, translating into dialogues and actions that will build a better world for children.

   

  ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺

 

This year, the COVID-19 crisis has resulted in a child rights crisis. The costs of the pandemic for children are immediate and, if unaddressed, may last a lifetime.

 

It’s time for generations to come together to reimagine the type of world we want to create. On 20 November, kids will reimagine a better world.

 

What will you do?

DPCW_1038 : Alliance of Religions

 

Alliance of Religions

 

"Discussing the spirit of peace written in scriptures

to step forward onto the road of world peace"

 

--------

NOW

--------

Religion is the cradle of human civilization and will always be a core influence in determining the trends, outlooks and progression of our society, which inevitably confronts questions and issues with religious undertones.

 

As the world becomes more multi-religious and multi-ethnic, however, there is a seemingly diminished respect for the diverse existence of faiths and ethnicities, and more concerns rise towards this new threat to peace, which can be seen in the form of religious hatred, persecution, and conflicts often involving physical violence.

 

This rising hostility, which has become a prolonged, unstable social factor, in all manifestations is an obstacle to peace.

   

======

HOW

======

Seeing the current status of the religious world, HWPL recognizes that the diverse principles and values in each religious scripture play an important role in people’s search for peace because these scriptures represent the accumulation of not only the spiritual and moral teachings of the respective faiths, but also a fundamental standard of human conduct.

 

Although the common objective that all religious scriptures pursue is the realization of peace and justice, conflict resolution, human dignity, and valuing diversity, these pure, overarching messages are often overlooked by people, leading to peace becoming an elusive concept.

 

Thus,

 

along with the diverse backgrounds and various factors that cause conflicts, we approach towards the root cause of this hostility between faiths, which we define as the misunderstandings that arise from the misinterpretation of these scriptures.
