Greetings to everyone joining the 8th Anniversary of the September 18th HWPL World Peace Summit. It is a pleasure to meet all of you. I am Man Hee Lee, chairman of HWPL. How have you all been? Currently, the world is going through great hardships of the pandemic. But under the protection of the heavens, I believe peace will be upon our family of peace.
Everyone, what would be the work entrusted to us? What would be the task that must be accomplished in this generation? It is peace. It is peace indeed. I heard the United Nations was established for the purpose of global peace. However, even to this very day, wars have continued incessantly. And for this reason, our family of peace have come forward for global peace and cessation of war.

After discussing with people from different backgrounds and walks of life, we came to a conclusion that the current international law is in need of a change, and thus a new international instrument, and established the HWPL International Law Peace Committee. The committee members drafted a document for this initiative, and that was the 10 articles and 38 clauses of the DPCW. Then we proclaimed it to the whole world. So I believe people around the world know about this document well.
How is the situation now? You can see if you look at the world. The UN was created for peace, and its Security Council with five permanent members was established for the same reasons. However, one of the five countries caused a war. It was their role to prevent wars from breaking out, but they started a war themselves. This is not right.

I don’t know what you think, but I also need to eat to survive just like any others. Even so, I went on 31 world tours for the purpose of peace. Do you think I did this work because I had nothing else to do? No, I did it for peace. Heads of state, chief justices, speakers of parliaments, and university presidents around the world all signed to achieve peace together. I have all their signatures. I have them with me.
And the conditions required for global peace were written by the members of the HWPL International Law Peace Committee. The document was drafted by the committee members. This document will be submitted to the United Nations, and it will be put to a vote. Those at the UN are the same people as us. They have the same heart. No one wants war.
I visited the UN several times and listened to them. They all wanted peace. So if a decision is made to adopt the DPCW, it should be implemented at the international level. One of the provisions calls for weapons of mass destruction to be removed. These weapons that destroy and kill humanity should be removed. The document also prohibits States from invading and pressuring other weaker States. Every State, whether it is big or small, should have its own sovereignty.

While going around the world, I have seen many things. Some countries do not have pharmacies. Some do not have hospitals. Why? Is it because their people don’t fall ill? No, it is because they are invaded by another country and not allowed to have such facilities. We are born into the same world, but some places are facing such difficulties. This can’t be. No, this cannot. They should be able to live on their own, and if there’s something they fall short of, their neighbors should help them out.
So the DPCW was created so that all the family of peace can live with the same rights. I am sure you know. Now for its implementation, I will make sure to send the DPCW to the United Nations. Then at the UN, people will put it to a vote. If they vote in favor, it will be implemented as it is. The HWPL International Law Peace Committee originally had 21 members, and the committee itself was a preparation for this work. I believe you know how much hard work they put in.
Since we started with a common goal, we should see it through to the finish. Yes, we should. In this world, I have met countless heads of state, chief justices, speakers of parliament, and university presidents in different countries. I have also met heads of organizations and journalists. We, HWPL, appointed national leaders as members of our Peace Advisory Council. We appointed heads of organizations as our Publicity Ambassadors.

What was the purpose?
For global peace.
Your effort in educating about peace, in a world rife with conflict and tension, is more important now than ever before - thank you.
ReplyDeleteMoreover, whether in Europe, Middle East or Africa, war always hits the innocent the hardest, especially women, youth and children. What do you possibly say to a mother who loses her son to war? The DPCW is a legal instrument that Chairman Lee of HWPL, who is a 92-year-old Korean War veteran, has conceived and garnered support for from politicians, Heads of State, religious leaders, academic experts and educators, women and youth groups through 31 global peace tours and it proposes a clear solution to permanently ceasing all wars and leaving peace as a legacy for the next generation. I really hope it will be presented to the United Nations in late 2022 or early 2023 so that it can be enacted as international law so that peace can come as soon as possible. Again, thank you for your post, and kudos to Chairman Lee and HWPL.
