The Central American Parliament, PARLACEN, supports DPCW

PARLACEN and HWPL : Collaboration

This year, the Central American Parliament, also known as PARLACEN aims to benefit all the member states in the region with the same policies of social welfare and education. PARLACEN will do a substantial and active support growing for the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW). It could not have been approved, if it wasn’t for Hon. Deputy Paula Lorena Rodriguez Lima. Who is she? She is a current Representative of Guatemala in PARLACEN. She had sincere and honest heart for peace and inspired each of the 120 congressmen and congresswomen. What does she think about ‘DPCW‘? It is “a declaration that details the yearning of having peace in the world”.

“I do believe that the amount of wars within the countries are increasing because the values are being lost. Truly I would want that my children would never encounter a country that is deteriorating in the Central America or the world that would be losing values.” – Hon. Deputy Paula Lorena Rodriguez Lima

Overcome the obstacles!

But PARLACEN encounter oppositions within parliament. Why? Because there was some hostile information of HWPL in the internet. So they didn’t want to approve it. It was rejected in the first month, second month and so forth. Thus, she just witnessed the workings of HWPL for a long time. I’m really impressed her actions. She hopes to see the document adopted even within the organization of the American states, all other regional parliaments, and eventually make its way to the United Nations. I want to emulate someone like her who is confident and treads the path of virtue.

Exclusive Interview with
Hon. Deputy Paula Lorena Rodriguez Lima

“I’ve had the advantage of being here now for the 3rd time in Korea [for the WARP Summit]. All the things I observed were positive things. I observed all the religions here included within the organizations.

More than that, I was able to see all of the youth volunteers are intelligent youth with strong intellectual capacity. As a matter of fact, it [HWPL] is a noble organization whose only purpose is to search peace.

In all the months, I aspired to convince the deputies. During these 14 months I had to talk to every single one of congressmen and women to offer an explanation, the benefits, advantages, and the nobility of this declaration. And then it was finally approved. At last, it was approved.”

One small step for PARLACEN and HWPL One giant leap for mankind

Korea Peace Unification Forum “DPCW is the solution”

Korea Peace Unification Forum

On November 30th, Korea Peace Unification Forum was held at the Korean National Assembly Member’s Conference Hall. Politicians and NGO representatives said what to do something. Also the Ambassadors to Korea are participated in this Forum from 12 countries including El Salvador, Cambodia, Costa Rica, Poland, and Laos. The purpose of Forum is to establish peacebuilding measures for the unification of Korea and global peace. What is the current state of the world? There are recent provocations from North Korea’s nuclear tests. Due to North Korea’s nuclear threat, the situation in the Korean peninsula is now at a crisis point more than ever before. War is terrific. Have you been engaged in warfare? Listen to a veteran.

“As a soldier in the infantry division at the frontlines during the Korean War, the words of the dead soldiers and the sounds of the firing of shots during the war even today are still ringing in my ears. We were born in the same world, but I could not see the flowers bloom even once. Politicians cannot compensate for this tragedy.” – Chairman Lee

What is the ultimate resolution?

In the panel discussions, the unification of the two Koreas was suggested by the ultimate resolution of Korean peninsula crisis. We are left with the choice of either a peaceful solution or a military solution. But It is difficult to resolve. How can we achieve the unification? We need practical ways to change the world.

President Chung continued, “Rather than creating peace through the passive means of just opposing the war, we need to realize an active concept of peace. The ultimate solution for North Korea’s nuclear threat and the North Korean problem is unification. It is now an urgent matter to prepare an active unification policy.”

DPCW is the ultimate solution

Chairman Lee proclaimed “HWPL has made peace agreements with present and former presidents and heads of state, chiefs justices of Supreme courts, university presidents, religious leaders, and the heads of international organizations, and this news has been broadcasted all around the world. The cessation of war and world peace will become a reality because everyone desires for peace rather than war” and finally “We have the answer to peace which is the DPCW.” I’m sure it will cure the world more beautifully. DPCW is the solution!!! Let’s become the messengers of peace!

IPYG toward the Youth Empowerment

IPYG is running fast

IPYG has been working with approximately 846 youth organizations in 111 countries around the world (as of October 2017). It is a good example of the Youth Empowerment. How much faster do they run? They participated in more than 200 activities and events in 44 countries for peace. How long? ‘Just in this year!‘ They show a great power. The reasons for that are eager for peace and youth. In particular, IPYG hosted the Peace Walk, which has been an annual event since 2013. They created a movement to promote the true culture of peace. It is based on Article 10 of the DPCW.

“For World Peace to become a reality, this is the duty of all youth,everywhere.“

IPYG Youth Empowerment Workshop

The IPYG Youth Empowerment Workshop was held for the first time. It was founded in accordance with the spirit of the Declaration of World Peace. The 2018 Youth Empowerment Workshop is an event many are looking forward to grow young people into peace leaders. What is the role of the youth? Owners of the future! They protect their future and leave sustainable peace as a legacy for future generations. I think it is very important to nurture of the youth to become leaders of the peace movement with a sense of ownership in regard to the future.

What’s your role?

“WE YOUTHS,
SHARE the love given from above.
GATHER as one.
PRODUCE works of true peace.”

Global Legislate Peace Campaign in 2017

Legislate Peace Campaign : DPCW

“630 events 176 countries 1 million participants”

“When the light of heaven shines in the hearts of people, it becomes the light that never fades away.”
– HWPL

Adoption of the DPCW in International Organizations

The Central American Parliament(Diputados del Parlamento Centroamericano, PARLACEN), with 6 member-states, has now completed the official process of approval for the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War(DPCW) after a year of discussion in the Commission of Peace, Public Security and Human Rights. It is an amazing achievement!!! I supported their walk. I want to make world where peace is everywhere.

The resolution includes the following,

“It is intended that the Central American Parliament raise the flag of peace among the entire international community, taking this message to all governments, international organizations, civil society, political parties and others.

Based on what was considered above and the legal basis invoked, the Commission of Peace, Public Security and Human Rights issues favorable report with amendments to the initiative AP / 1278-278 / 2016 the “DECLARATION OF PEACE AND CESSATION OF WAR“.

In the DPCW promoted by HWPL on March 14, 2016, the respect of human rights and international law is fundamentally promoted, especially the role of the states in relation to the promotion of Peace, Justice and Freedom.”

The key to success in anything : Feedback

How can they grow faster?

When you look around the company, you must see these people. Someone who have a good hand at anything! They are growing fast because they work faster than others and also are good at relationships. What is the key? Ithai Stern, a management professor at Northwestern University, discovered a very interesting fact when he conducted a study to find out how they became executives of major company. Someone who successfully became executives often seek advice from their superiors. Their questions are “How did you achieve such a successful career? These are my weak points. How can I improve my skills?” They had no qualms about asking for advice. I am moved by this video.(Youtube : Change Ground)

“It is not necessary to do extraordinary things to get extraordinary results.”
– Warren Buffett

The key to success in anything : Can you?

It is hard to get feedback. It is so painful. I love movies about ‘Growing up’. There are moments when any of the main characters must experience. They realized their lack of skills, and they despair. Finally, they overcome it in a cool way through a lot of training. We in reality are pretty much frustrated. I wanted to grow up as fast as the main characters, but the reality was different. I thought I worked hard, but I didn’t grow up well. And I really don’t like getting a feedback and I feel bad. I couldn’t be honest with me. Warren Buffett is different. He boldly acknowledged his mistakes, learned from them, and moved on, in an annual meeting watched by thousands of people. I think Humility is the most important thing. I don’t say ‘false humility’, I want really true humility.

“Honesty is a very expensive gift. Do not expect it from cheap people.”
– Warren Buffett

More Tips : Stand on your own two feet

Although you get advice, It is not the end. You must listen and apply it to you constantly. Don’t you wonder Warren Buffett‘s daily routine? Who is he ask for some advice? In his room, there are no stock indicators or TV.(Wow) He read books all day. He has a meeting once a day and often enjoys meditation. Finally, the purpose of listening to others’ advice is to change me. My thoughts, my vision, my inner self must be all changed. When I am changed, I don’t need to be swayed by countless other people’s advice.

“I just sit in my office and read all day.”

PyeongChang 2018 Olympic : Keyword is Peace

PyeongChang Olympic 2018

The PyeongChang 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games will be held in February next year. This video above is made for public relations. Its concept is highly acclaimed at home and abroad. It started from background that ‘AIs were defeated after a 10-year battle with humans’. Heroine main character is the last AI left in this world. Her name is ‘K 2018020925’. What does she do? She studied deeply ‘why humans won‘. What does she find? Emotion! Passion, sadness, joy, love. All of these appeared at a time in the feast, ごちそう, fiesta, 잔치(Janchi). They make the connection between the Seoul 1988 Olympics, the 2002 World Cup and 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics. The meaning is that Korea gave thanks to nations who helped Korea and this peaceful janchi united all into one. The keyword is ‘Peace‘.

“I believe the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games will help spread the message of peace through one of the few languages that has the power to unite people around the world: the graceful and universal language of SPORT.” – Yuna Kim

Desire for peace : Two big events

The last A.I. said ‘Why could AI not surpass humans?’ Now the core of PR video is coming out. ‘Was it not a desire for peace?’ In my opinion, there must be some reason. There are at least two things that I know. First, on December, 2016, 1.7 million people gathered in Candlelight rally, Seoul. Nationwide total is 2,320,000 people. It reminded me of William Shakespeare’s one quote that “How far that little candle throws his beams!”. The world was surprised by peaceful assembly culture and mature civic consciousness. People say “Don’t hit anyone even by flowers” The video said ‘The candle of peace lit has been carried over to the PyeongChang Olympic Torch and conveyed all over the world.’ I really love this sentence. Here is my posting.

“How far that little candle throws his beams!”
– William Shakespeare

Why War? HWPL’s Solutions

Second, 2017 3rd World Alliance of Religions’ Peace (WARP) Summit was held by HWPL in Seoul, Korea. It is a annual event for peace. Each year, influential people from all around the world meet in South Korea.

HWPL was acknowledged for substantial and practical way to achieve peace. I am very proud of these Koreans. Their slogan is “Together for peace as messengers of peace” Why could human not cease war? The solutions of HWPL are ‘Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War(DPCW)’ and ‘The World Alliance of Religions’ Peace (WARP) Office’.

Now ‘Legislate peace campaign’ is carried out. Since then, 705,000 signatures in more than 170 countries. And 117 schools from 8 different countries (as of July 2016) voluntarily became HWPL Peace Academies. In the short three years, the WARP Offices have seen rapid expansion with 218 offices now operating in 126 countries.

The 15th IAVE Asia-Pacific Conference 2017 for Peace Education

Educational Conference for Youth&Peace

The 15th IAVE Asia Pacific Regional Volunteer Conference & Youth Volunteer Conference was held at Malaysia, on 22 November 2017. The title is that ‘Power of Volunteerism: What have you changed?’. This conference was hosted by Yayasan Salam Malaysia, the biggest volunteer NGO in this area and attended by 610 people from 32 countries. The Youth Conference was inspired by one summit. They discussed for peace in session, the Region-Specific Discussion for the Implementation of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW). This peaceful summit is ‘3rd Annual Commemoration of the WARP Summit 2017′ held in September. At that time, nine Malaysian delegation members discussed action plans under the title of “Establishing Collaborative Governance for Peace“.

The International Association for Volunteer Effort (IAVE) is an international NGO for volunteerism, founded in 1970. IAVE advocates interaction between the governments of each country and civil society.

Peace Education: The Spirit of Ownership for Humankind

HWPL delivered a keynote speech during the opening ceremony of the IAVE conference. One project director of the HWPL said, “The fact that we are the owner of our community, country and furthermore the human society that we belong to…this ownership is the very foundation of volunteerism. What values are sowed in young peoples’ hearts decides our future. Thus, peace education is the most powerful way to inherit the legacy of peace to the future generations for them to obtain this sense of ownership” I think we need many friends who are man of action. But I should look back me first. That’s why peace education is needed.

“Make peace, create peace, be the example of peace. We need peace in the world.” – Pope Francis

IPYG Youth Empowerment Game

It is a role-play game. You can become decision-makers who have the mission of building a peaceful society. You must achieve peace.

“Politicians ought to promote social integration on the basis of peace and love for humankind. This becomes strong leadership.”
“Religious leaders must become as living textbooks of peace education since they are spiritual leaders who guide 80% of the world’s population.”
“Youth must realize their values and unite with other youths as the main players that are leading society.”

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE The 15th IAVE Asia-Pacific Conference 2017 for Peace Education Youth Yayasan Salam Malaysia volunteerism stop war religious leaders Politicians Peace education Ownership for Humankind NGO IPYG Youth Empowerment Game international law at USIM IAVE HWPL DPCW decision-makers 3rd WARP Summit 2017 15th IAVE Asia Pacific Regional Volunteer Conference & Youth Volunteer Conference — Wafa Aimi, a student of international law at USIM. She is strong and wonderful.

Wafa Aimi, a student of international law at USIM, said “The invention of a legal framework and all these initiatives will give a big impact in order to foster peace at both national and international levels. The DPCW would be a plausible check and balance instrument to limit the inherent rights for a state to resort to a war consonant with other considerations. These are the catalysts of positive changes and it will eventually show its path for developing peace processes in our world. The international community needs a wide-ranging legal approach that can guide and help the citizens, irrespective of their ethnicities, nationalities and religions.

“Although challenges are inevitable in the form of ethnic hatred and religious conflict…but as quoted from HWPL Chairman’s speech at 3rd WARP Summit 2017, “This precious and indispensable gift was bestowed upon the human race as a legacy from heaven. Who must protect our world? It is us, the family of the global village. Neither wealth nor power can be passed down as a heritage if we fail to stop wars. Mankind and our Earth will share a fatal destiny.” I hope that more youth become powerful ‘peace messengers‘.

Fundamental thing for the fruitful New Year

During this last year

How was this year? When you look back on this year, how do you feel? Can it be a fruitful New year? If its problem is converted to ‘I’, It is a very hard problem. Sometimes I really don’t want to look back. Maybe I don’t want to face me. I just avoid it by saying that I don’t have any time to look back. Our thoughts and our words is not just what it appears to be. It depends on our fundamental things. For example, maybe you can’t think like ‘I can do something’. Why do you think like this? It depends on your faith to you, confidence, belief. These invisible and fundamental things is hard to be changed. That’s why it’s more valuable and more important.

For Fruitful New Year

Can you make your New year more fruitful? Are you confident? You think you can do anything? Or you think you can do nothing? From a personal standpoint, neither are important. Confidence isn’t not proportional to your fruitful New year. The problem is fundamental. International companies like Google, Amazon and Facebook already carry on fundamental things. ‘Growth mindset‘ of Kelly McGonigal is famous. Also Meditation, MBSR(Mindfulness-Based-Stress-Reduction program) and Logotherapy are conducted. Actually, so many people suggested the solution. The answers are overflowing. Just I hope you will follow your heart. In Nietzsche, you encounters a dragon, and “Thou Shalt”(meaning “you shall”) glitters on its scales. Kill the dragon. And you become the child.

Antibiotics for Clostridium Difficile Colitis

What is C. Difficile Colitis?

Clostridium difficile (also called C. difficile) is a bacteria which can cause inflammation. It is known as ‘colitis’ in the large intestine or colon. If you get antibiotics, you can maybe get ‘C. difficile Colitis’. It can be said ‘Opportunistic infection‘. It means an infection caused by pathogens that take advantage of an opportunity not normally available, such as a host with a weakened immune system. C. difficile is infectious. C. difficile Colitis is common in old patients who are in hospitals and who are getting chemotherapy for cancer. I will show you antibiotics more in detail.

“Medicine is not only a science; it is also an art. Its does not consist of compounding pills and plasters; it deals with the very processes of life, which must be understood before they may be guided.” – Paracelsus

Causing antibiotics

Clindamycin and Methicillin have side effects that can cause C. difficile Colitis. I will introduce action mechanisms, characteristics and side effects of each antibiotics. First, Clindamycin binds to 23S rRNA of 50S(bacterial ribosome) to reduce synthesis of protein to. It can treat Anaerobic bacteria infection. Its side effect is, we already know, a C. difficile Colitis. Second, Methicillin irreversibly binds to transpeptidase of bacteria to inhibit cross linking of murein polymer. It is a 2nd generation penicillin which can be used for Skin and soft tissue and MSSA(Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus). Its side effects are ‘Hypersensitivity’, ‘Neurotoxicity’ and ‘C. difficile Colitis'(by Oral).

Treating antibiotics

Vancomycin and Fidaxomicin can treat C. difficile Colitis. Action mechanisms, characteristics and side effects are here. First, Vancomycin inhibits Murein polymerization to inhibit synthesis of cell wall. It can be used for Gram (+) bacteria. Its effects depend on IV and Oral administration. With IV administration, It can treat MRSA(Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). With Oral administration, It can treat ‘Pseudomembranous colitis’ of C. difficile. Side effects are ‘Red man syndrome’, ‘Nephrotoxicity’ and ‘Ototoxicity’. Second, Fidaxomicin binds to RNA polymerase to inhibit ‘initiation stage’ of RNA synthesis. It can treat C. difficile Colitis and its side effects are ‘Nausea’, ‘Vomiting’ and ‘Abdominal pain’.

Behind the Staff Story of the 3rd WARP #2

Together We Make a Difference

The World Alliance of Religions’ Peace (3rd WARP) Summit, which was first held in 2014, has been held annually in Seoul. Each year, influential people from all around the world meet in South Korea. HWPL was acknowledged for substantial and practical way to achieve peace. Actually, people who come to the Peace Festival are all moving. They can feel ‘Peace waves‘, which also be called ‘the heart of peace’, deep down in the heart. This time, I introduce ‘Peace parade‘ and finale ‘Arirang of Peace‘ performance. The peace parade showed how global peace is being achieved in accordance with the 10 articles and 38 clauses of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War.

Hidden heroes of the 3rd WARP

Parade Art Production Team Leader
Dongwoo Han

Q. You are creating a tank and a unification train. Which part of this should be viewed carefully?

“In the case of the tank, a key point to take notice of is how the cold and lethal weapons of death are transformed into agricultural tools that help people and give them joy. So, it becomes a world where there are no longer any weapons that kill people. In the case of the unification train, it shows how the unification of Korea, which is the world’s only divided nation, is able to give hope.

This is symbolized by the creation of a unification train which would allow people to go anywhere, not caring whether it is in South or North.”

Parade Art Production Team member
Minjeong Kim

Q. What inspired you to produce this piece?

“During the proclamation of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War, Chairman Lee of HWPL stated that we must not create weapons that are to be used for war any longer, but instead should transform them into tools that are beneficial for humanity. These ideas have been a great inspiration for my work.

So, the main gun on the top of the tank was replaced with a golden trumpet that would be used to announce the news of peace. As I am aware that Chairman Lee has personally experienced the pain of the Korean War as a veteran, so much inspiration was received through his words and actions.”

Going along with the lyrics of “Arirang of Peace,” it was like seeing the blueprint of a new era and “entering the new world of peace” that is without war and terrorism.

Arirang Performance performer
Jiyun Ahn

Q. With what kind of heart did you prepare for this performance?

“I had many thoughts about what kind of heart I should be preparing for this performance with if things became hard or difficult. However, as I watched my teammates and everyone, including myself, preparing for the performance for the sake of peace and not for personal gain or pleasure, my heart became ever more eager for peace and I worked even harder while practicing.”

Arirang Performance performer
Hyunji Kang

Q. Can you please introduce the performance that we will see from this Arirang Team?

“Our performance is a concert called Arirang Fantasy of Peace. It is a performance that expresses the idea of a peace that does not discriminate anyone, even though nationality, race, culture and religion may all be different. It brings together a traditional Korean song with traditional instruments, dances martial arts and other elements showing a harmonized global village full of excitement. This concert is a peace festival that represents the global village that will live in harmony and create peace.

It is during the performance of Ganggangsullae(강강술래), a traditional Korean dance, in the Arirang of Peace where one of our team members steps across the connected backs and shoulders of the others. This clearly demonstrates how a beautiful reality of peace is achieved through the combined sacrifice and effort of everyone involved.

Therefore, during practices not even one person could think selfishly, but instead had to willingly lend their back and shoulders. So, we carefully practiced with the mindset that I myself must hold hands and create peace along with everyone else.”
