Australian News
On May 25, 2021,
HWPL held its 8th Annual Commemoration of
the Declaration of World Peace online, with 3,000 people from 150 countries
around the world in attendance. HWPL, an international peace NGO, stands for
Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light. Since its founding in
2013, in association with its affiliated groups, International Peace Youth
Group (IPYG) and International Womens Peace Group, HWPL has been working
towards implementing practical measures to achieve world peace and cessation of
war.
With several
cases of international partnership in peacebuilding projects endorsed by youth
and women organizations categorized by each region Africa, Europe, and Asia,
this years 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 involves not only the cooperation of each state in establishing
international laws for peace and the role of the media in sharing information
about 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 HWPLs peace
initiative, for the past eight years millions of global citizens have
participated in promoting locally adapted peace projects, including education,
relief, and forums to offer public policies, in order to meet the needs of the
community and create a favourable environment for peace.

In cooperation with IWPG, 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.
Regarding the
importance of peace activities through education, she said, We need to learn the
mechanism of guiding everyone to become tools of peace, which accumulates from
daily life and sometimes throughout the simplest matters of life, starting with
personal peace with oneself, within 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 Lee of HWPL.

I want peace too!
ReplyDeleteMany heads of state - both existing and former - have publicly declared their support for HWPL's Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW), citing it as the only solution to ceasing all conflict and achieving peace on a global scale. I truly believe peace will be restored in today's conflict-ridden nations through HWPL soon. May peace prevail!
