Peace activists discuss coexistence and harmony in the Global World

On May 25, 2021,

HWPL’s 8th Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of World Peace was held online and attended by around 3,000 people from 150 countries around the world.

The event is held annually by an international peace NGO named Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL) in association with its affiliated groups, International Peace Youth Group (IPYG) and International Women’s Peace Group (IWPG).

With several cases of international partnership for peacebuilding projects endorsed by youth and women organizations categorized by each region – Africa, Europe, and Asia, this year’s event aimed to discuss a citizen-led peace movement and cooperation to promote coexistence and harmony in the global community, and to overcome global challenges that stem from hatred, conflicts, misunderstanding, and lack of communication in this current pandemic era.

The event commemorated the Declaration of World Peace, proclaimed on May 25th in 2013, which contains not only the cooperation of each state to establish international law for peace and the role of the media in contribution to sharing information of peace but also the active peace movement of youth and women who seek to transform themselves from the greatest victims of war to the greatest actors for peace.

From this peace initiative, HWPL says that millions of global citizens for 8 years have participated in promoting peace projects locally fitted to creating a favorable environment of peace, including education, relief, and forums to offer public policies to meet the needs of the community.

Chairwoman Pascale Isho Warda of Hammurabi Human Rights Organization(HHRO) in Iraq, who was appointed as Minister of Migration and Displacement by the UN from 2004 to 2005, introduced a legislation project of law that prevents violence against women and children in cooperation with IWPG.

Regarding the importance of peace activities through education, she said,

“

We need to learn the mechanism of guiding everyone to become a tool of peace, strengthening from daily life, and sometimes throughout the simplest matter of life, starting with personal peace with oneself, in the family, and with others.

”

Ven. Ashin Htavara, General Secretary of All Burmese Monks Representative Committee in Norway, who went through the Saffron Revolution in 2007, stated that 3 HWPL Peace Libraries were established in Payapon, Myanmar and that a fourth library is currently being prepared.

“There are too few libraries for children in Myanmar.

I wanted to give hope to these little children. In the future, the library will conduct peace education, peace activities, and peace campaigns, and we will do everything that can help achieve peace,” he said.

The event also advocated global participation in peace activities such as the peace tree planting campaign that began in Ukraine with 1,000 participants from 21 countries and peace policy proposal dialogue between citizens and policy experts in Mali where the recent coup triggered social unrest.

“It is we in this day who have to do all the necessary things to make peace and prevent our globe from being destroyed. War does not end with words, but it comes to an end with our practical actions. I believe that this can be achieved since no one in our global village is not willing to see peace,” highlighted Chairman Man Hee Lee of HWPL.

ABOUT HWPL#1 : DPCW can be legislated as a legally-binding document?

Q.	Is there a possibility that the DPCW can be legislated as a legally-binding document? 🍃
:	A. HWPL has been engaging in and continuously expanding "Legislate Peace" project, in order for every state and individual in the world to take part in supporting the DPCW and in the effort to introduce the DPCW as a UN resolution. Civil societies gathered their hearts for peace through the LP project and sent their letters to people from various walks of life around the world, and high-level leaders from multiple countries also have been sending their support for the DPCW. The voices of the civil societies can change the world in a better direction. Since HWPL is working with civil societies from around the world, we believe that the potential for the DPCW to become a legally-binding document is very high. #HWPL
Q.	What kind of activities is HWPL engaged in for the DPCW to become an international legal instrument for peace?
	A :After the 10 articles and 38 clauses of the DPCW were proclaimed in 2016, the Legislate Peace project began so that the DPCW can become an international legal instrument for peace, with the youth and women in the center of its effort. The LP project started out as a signature campaign to support the DPCW, through which the value of the DPCW was made known to people from various walks of life in the society in order to urge for their support. #DPCW The signature campaign has now expanded to various cultural events and campaigns with the DPCW as its basis, currently taking place in 176 different countries. Starting in 2018, in particular, about 600,000 citizens from multiple countries wrote hand-written letters that urged for peace, actively participating in a peace letter campaign to reach out to leaders in 192 different countries including presidents, prime ministers, heads of national assemblies, and chief justices. 🗝 WWW.HWPL.KR #HWPL #DPCW_1038 #DPCW #PEACE_EDUCATION #PEACE #IPYG #IWPG #WARP_OFFICE #PEACE_WALK ✍️
