  1. This is truly beautiful work. Many 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 Myanmar and other conflict-ridden nations through HWPL soon. May peace prevail!
