World Tuna Day 2 May

 Is your tuna sustainable?

Canned tuna has been a great ally in our pantries during the pandemic. But, regardless of the market exceptionalities caused by the pandemic, we cannot ignore that, for a long time, this product has been a victim of its nutritional success. Tuna is rich in Omega-3 and it also contains minerals, proteins, and vitamin B12, among other advantages.

 

#TUNA

 

As a result of the amazing qualities of tuna, the fish are threatened by overwhelming demand. According to the latest data, among the seven principal tuna species, 33.3 percent of the stocks are estimated to be fished at biologically unsustainable levels

 

#UN

 

That is why in December 2016, the United Nations General Assembly voted to officially observe World Tuna Day.

 

#INTERNATIONAL_DAY

 

The move underlines the importance of conservation management to ensure that we have systems in place to prevent tuna stocks from crashing. Many countries depend heavily on tuna resources for food security and nutrition, economic development, employment, government revenue, livelihoods, culture, and recreation.

DPCW_1038 : HWPL Peace Tours of Man-hee Lee

To the family members of peace who love peace,

 

Greetings, I am Venerable Myeong An, the Vice President of the Yeorae Order of Korean Buddhism. First and foremost, I would like to thank HWPL, who is leading the work for peace, for inviting me to today’s event.

 

There is a saying in Buddhism, “It’s fate even if you just brush collars.” I believe our fate is greater since we have become one family for peace. It seems our relationship is layers deep.

 

There are many people who doubt peace will be achieved, including religious leaders who work for love, mercy, and peace. However, for me, world peace and the unification of the Korean Peninsula were things that have to be achieved. This is because I have always heard and learned about the desire for peace from In Wang Maha Sangaraja, who is the founder of the Yeorae Order of Korean Buddhism.

 

In Wang Maha Sangaraja was also a Korean War veteran, like HWPL Chairman Lee Man-hee. He knew firsthand the devastation of war and always practiced his words with action. He declared “One family of the global village,” established “Symbiosis, co-prosperity, and coexistence,” and erected monuments for world peace and the unification of the Korean Peninsula with Venerable Ilbung Seo Gyeongbo. Following this, the Yeorae Order has continued to pray for world peace and the unification of the Korean peninsula.

I believe that connected our hearts, and that is why our connection is so precious. Chairman Lee, who has been working without rest to leave a world of peace to the future generations despite being over 90 years old, reminded me of In Wang Maha Sangaraja, and the family of HWPL who joyfully partake in this work seemed to be united with the Yeorae Order. It seemed we were truly one family in peace.

International Jazz Day 30 April

Music of improvisation and collective creation

International Jazz Day raises awareness in the international community of the virtues of jazz as a force for peace, unity, dialogue and enhanced cooperation among people, as well as an educational tool. Many governments, civil society organizations, educational institutions, and private citizens currently engaged in the promotion of jazz music embrace the opportunity to foster greater appreciation, not only for the music, but also for the contribution it can make to building more inclusive societies.

 International Jazz Day has had extraordinary successes over the past decade, becoming the world’s largest annual celebration of jazz. It is a global movement, engaging people annually, on every continent, through education programs, performances, community outreach and media coverage.

Why Jazz?

Jazz breaks down barriers and creates opportunities for mutual understanding and tolerance;

Jazz is a vector of freedom of expression;

Jazz is a symbol of unity and peace;

Jazz reduces tensions between individuals, groups, and communities;

Jazz fosters gender equality;

Jazz reinforces the role youth play for social change;

Jazz encourages artistic innovation, improvisation, new forms of expression, and inclusion of traditional music forms into new ones;

Jazz stimulates intercultural dialogue and empowers young people from marginalized societies.

In November 2011 the UNESCO General Conference proclaimed 30 April as “International Jazz Day”. This International Day brings together communities, schools, artists, historians, academics, and jazz enthusiasts all over the world to celebrate and learn about the art of jazz, its roots, its future and its impact. This important international art form is celebrated for promoting peace, dialogue among cultures, diversity, and respect for human rights and human dignity, eradicating discrimination, promoting freedom of expression, fostering gender equality, and reinforcing the role of youth for social change.

INTERNATIONAL_DAY : English Language Day 23 April

Celebrating the English language at the UN

English Language Day at the UN is celebrated on 23 April, the date traditionally observed as both the birthday and date of death of William Shakespeare. As well as being the most famous playwright, who wrote in English, Shakespeare also had a huge impact on modern-day English.

 

Today, every one in four people in the world uses English. English is being used more and more as a way for two speakers with different first languages to communicate with each other.

 

At the United Nations, English is one of the two working languages, along with French.

 

The Day is the result of a 2010 initiative by the Department of Global Communications, establishing language days for each of the Organization's six official languages. The purpose of the UN's language days is to celebrate multilingualism and cultural diversity, as well as to promote equal use of all six official languages throughout the Organization.

 

Under the initiative, UN duty stations around the world celebrate six separate days, each dedicated to one of the Organization's six official languages.

What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

What is World Book and Copyright Day

World Book and Copyright Day is a celebration to promote the enjoyment of books and reading. Each year, on 23 April, celebrations take place all over the world to recognize the scope of books - a link between the past and the future, a bridge between generations and across cultures. On this occasion, UNESCO and the international organizations representing the three major sectors of the book industry - publishers, booksellers and libraries, select the World Book Capital for a year to maintain, through its own initiatives, the impetus of the Day’s celebrations.

#INTERNATIONAL_DAY #UN #APRIL #BOOK #WORLD #HWPL #BOOKSELLER #IPYG #IWPG #DPCW_1038 #PEACE_WORLD

23 April is a symbolic date in world literature. It is the date on which several prominent authors, William Shakespeare, Miguel de Cervantes and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega all died. This date was a natural choice for UNESCO's General Conference, held in Paris in 1995, to pay a world-wide tribute to books and authors on this date, encouraging everyone to access books.

International Mother Earth Day 22 April

 When Mother Earth sends us a message

Mother Earth is clearly urging a call to action. Nature is suffering. Oceans filling with plastic and turning more acidic. Extreme heat, wildfires and floods, have affected millions of people. Even these days, we are still trying to get back on track from COVID-19, a worldwide health pandemic linked to the health of our ecosystem.

 

WWW.UN.ORG

 

Climate change, man-made changes to nature as well as crimes that disrupt biodiversity, such as deforestation, land-use change, intensified agriculture and livestock production or the growing illegal wildlife trade, can accelerate the speed of destruction of the planet.

 

This is the second Mother Earth Day celebrated within the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. Ecosystems support all life on Earth. The healthier our ecosystems are, the healthier the planet - and its people. Restoring our damaged ecosystems will help to end poverty, combat climate change and prevent mass extinction. But we will only succeed if everyone plays a part.

 

#MOTHER_EARTH_DAY #INTERNATIONAL_DAY #PLANET #CLIMATE #ACT #HWPL #IPYG #IWPG #DPCW_1038

 

For this International Mother Earth Day, let's remimd ourselves - more than ever - that we need a shift to a more sustainable economy that works for both people and the planet. Let’s promote harmony with nature and the Earth. Join the global movement to restore our world!

 

Let’s act now

There are multiple, feasible and effective options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to human-caused climate change, and they are available now, according to the last UN Climate Change report backed by science.

 

[HWPL] Introduction to HWPL Peace Tours of Man-hee Lee: En route to 'End of War and Peace', “Lord, be with us!”

Man-hee Lee, Chairman of Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), is attracting attention for his epochal peace achievements by presenting solutions to peace in the form of the ‘Enactment of an International Law for Cessation of War’ and ‘World Alliance of Religions’. As a veteran of the Korean War, Chairman Lee is encouraging the largest number of people in the history of the global village to join the peace movement, proclaiming, “Let’s create a world without war and pass it on as an eternal legacy to future generations.” From the 1st to 31st peace tours, Korean peace activist Man-hee Lee has brought inspiration and hope to the global village with the message

 

“Peace, We Can Make It.”

Chairman Man-hee Lee gathered some of the most prominent legal scholars along his peace tours and launched the HWPL International Law Peace Committee, comprised of 21 legal experts, in September 2015 to commemorate the 1st Annual Commemoration of the WARP (World Alliance of Religions' Peace) Summit. On March 14th of the following year, the HWPL International Law Peace Committee published the 10 Articles and 38 Clauses of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW), which serves as the basis for the

 

'Global Declaration on the Cessation of War and Achievement of World Peace’.

 

After the DPCW was proclaimed, Chairman Lee's peace tours focused on promoting the DPCW to the international community and on appealing for support. As a result, it has secured the support of 55 African countries and has almost completed all necessary requirements for its enactment and implementation by the United Nations as a UN resolution.

 

Through heaven's answer to peace, Chairman Man-hee Lee said,

 

“Let’s create a world of peace without war and pass it on to future generations as an eternal legacy.”

 

He is inviting the largest number of people in history worldwide to join the peace movement.

Significance and Development Direction of DPCW

Prof. Dr. Md Nazrul Islam

Chairman and Professor, Department of Law, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh , HWPL International Law Peace Committee Member

 

Hello, everyone. I’m Prof. Dr. Md Nazrul Islam (Asif Nazrul), Chairman of Department of Law, University of Dhaka. First of all, I would like to thank HWPL Chairman Man Hee Lee for inviting me to ‘HWPL’s 7th Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW)’ and giving me an opportunity to give a speech at this session.

 

After my first visit to South Korea in 2015, I wrote up the draft of the DPCW, and 10 articles and 38 clauses of the DPCW were completed with the efforts of the renowned legal experts around the world and the constant feedback of Chairman Lee. So, in this presentation, let me give you the significance and development process of the DPCW that I witnessed.

 

Let me bring us back to when I had a meeting with Chairman Lee. When Chairman Man Hee Lee explained to me that HWPL wants to develop their documents of peace, calling for the cessation of war, and spreading the culture of peace, I told him “There are many documents which are passed by the United Nations General Assembly, there is a UN charter and international agreement. Why do you want to add a new document?

What will be the use of that?”

He just communicated to me that he wanted to develop a document from a global citizen perspective and to also address the deficiencies and what was lacking of the UN charter and UN documents.

 

HWPL proclaimed the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) in 2016, which was drafted by the HWPL International Law Peace Committee, which is comprised of renowned international law experts from 15 different states. This declaration, comprised of 10 articles and 38 clauses, aims to restore the spirit that served as the basis for the establishment of the United Nations and to achieve sustainable peace by promoting the universal values of the global community.

United Nations Chinese Language Day April 20

Celebrate UN Chinese Language Day

The United Nations has six official languages, Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish. In order to emphasize the importance of linguistic and cultural diversity and promote the equal use of the six official languages ​​of the United Nations, in 2010, the United Nations Department of Public Information (now the Department of Global Communications ) announced the launch of United Nations Language Day.

 

The initiative aims to celebrate multilingualism and cultural diversity and promote equal use of the six official languages ​​at the United Nations. In the same year, after the demonstration by domestic experts, the Permanent Mission of China to the United Nations suggested to the United Nations that the Chinese Language Day should be set as the traditional Chinese solar term "Grain Rain" on April 20 every year to commemorate the contribution of Cangjie, the "ancestor of Chinese characters", in creating characters. .

 

　　Since the first celebration was held at the United Nations Headquarters in New York on November 12, 2010, the United Nations Chinese Language Day has become a window for people to understand Chinese culture. Every year around Chinese Day, the United Nations Headquarters in New York will launch a series of colorful activities, covering art exhibitions, Chinese learning forums, special lectures, fashion and traditional opera exhibitions, etc.

 

#CHINESE_LANGUAGE #UN #INTERNATIONALDAY #DPCW_1038 #WARP_OFFICE #IPYG #IWPG #BANGKOK #NAIROBI #VIENNA #GENEVA #PEACE_WORLD

 

　　In addition, the United Nations offices in Geneva, Bangkok, Nairobi, Vienna, and other United Nations agencies will also hold exhibitions, lectures, interesting quizzes and other activities to highlight the charm of the Chinese language and Chinese culture.

Gu Yu and Cangjie Invented Characters

　　Guyu is the last solar term in spring. At this time, the first planting of seedlings and new crops in the field need the nourishment of rainwater most, so it is said that "spring rain is as expensive as oil". At the end of spring and the approach of summer, duckweed in the pond begins to grow, and spring tea is also harvested around this time. At this moment, it gives people a scene of the growth and prosperity of all things, as the saying goes, "the season of the year lies in spring".

 

　　Regarding the origin of the Grain Rain Festival, according to "Huainanzi", Cangjie's creation of characters was an earth-shattering event. The Yellow Emperor issued an edict in late spring and early summer, announcing the success of Cangjie's coining of characters, and called on the people of the world to learn it together.

 

According to legend, he moved the Emperor of Heaven because of his merits in making characters. At that time, the world was suffering from a famine, so he ordered the heavenly soldiers and generals to open the granary of the Tiangong, and it rained millet, and all the people in the world were saved. Therefore, later generations named this day Guyu, which became one of the twenty-four solar terms.
