South Korea-based
International NGO Urges a Forum for
Peace
Talks
in Myanmar
HWPL, an international
NGO under the United Nations ECOSOC based in South Korea, issued a statement
expressing deep concern about the crisis of human rights caused by the recent
military coup and mass protests in Myanmar.
They are calling for the international community to join in efforts
in supporting a peaceful approach in resolving the country’s current conflict.
On the
“HWPL Statement on Human Rights Crisis in Myanmar”,
the organization urged the International community to express their
support for conflict resolution through the channel of dialogue between the military and civil society activists.

In the statement, it said hundreds of deaths and injuries were
caused by “the recent efforts of the Myanmar military to suppress nonviolent
protests”
It highlighted that “no conflict of interest can justify violence
against civilians, and no interest of any group can prevail over human life.”
HWPL asked all parties in Myanmar to
“resolve the crisis through
consensus based on mutual respect and understanding”
and “engage in dialogue to
seek a peaceful resolution.”
HWPL also asked people
around the world to “issue statements urging authorities and civilians in
Myanmar to pursue dialogue and seek a peaceful solution in order to restore
peace to the country.”

“The
number of deaths from protests have exceeded 200 and more than 2,000 people
have been arrested by the military.” Kasauh Mon, President of Mon News Agency,
a Myanmar-based journalist, said in a statement. “We are very pleased with HWPL
and the Korean’s support for our democracy and peace movement. Currently, we
are calling on the international community to call for the end against the
military regime, and to stop their brutality against peaceful demonstrators,”
he continued.
#PEACE
For the past five years, this international civil society advocacy
for peacebuilding led by HWPL has shown support and initiatives at the national
and international levels. The organization has collected over 730,000 letters written by
citizens in 176 countries to encourage peace development in each country,
expressing support and participation by governments and social leaders.

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!
