It is first anniversary of a child refugee’s Death. Do you remember ‘Alan Kurdi’?

He is a child refugee. Last year he became enormously famous. Because he appeared dead on the beach. While trying to go to Europe to avoid civil war, his mother(35) and his brother(5) were drowned. Then all the world wanted to help the refugees.

His father said “Then after a year, that movement is all gone.”

He appealed “I hope the world leaders to stop a Syria civil war as soon as possible.

The Mediterranean is the fuss now. Thousands of people were overthrown, and Thousands of people were rescued. But all do not get involved this problem.

Now there has been a lot of talk about the Colombian civil war.

What we now have, is the Syria civil war

I want to end war. 🙂 Refugee is our friend.

Even though so many people came together, Non-violent culture is still. Any one is not taken to the police. They march in 100 m front of Cheong Wa Dae. It is the shortest distance until now. This peaceful protest is unprecedented in world history.

Many amazing things happened. When one citizen suddenly collapsed,  police officers hand over hot packs. Wow.

Second, one citizen threw flowers for peace performance. Then, people say “Don’t hit by flowers” I was impressed.

Nobel peace prize : Colombia peace agreement “It is passed. Now remaining task is ‘implementation’

Nobel peace prize : Colombia peace agreement “It is passed. Now remaining task is ‘implementation’

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Nobel peace prize : Colombia peace agreement “It is passed. Now remaining task is 'implementation' Peace culture Colombia

Do you remember ‘2016 Nobel peace prize’? Santos president win the Nobel peace prize. Why? The Nobel committee support ‘Colombia peace agreement’. I introduce the reason why It is rejected. They failed to consider the victims’ anger. The problem is that they are too generous to FARC(Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia).

I expect They all discussed everything and ironed out the details. So They All will agree.

But How about now?

Santos government only passed Colombia peace agreement by parliamentary vote instead of The referendum. The agreement was carried by a unanimous vote. The opponents are not appearing to protest. They say “Colombia people refuse it. How can the Congress approve it?”(according to AFP)

Such reasons, Some pointed out that there are limitations to this agreement.

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Nobel peace prize : Colombia peace agreement “It is passed. Now remaining task is 'implementation' Peace culture Colombia

Now ‘implementation’ is important. Success or failure depends on how much disarming FARC are protected. There are many such an opinion.

I think They more need conversations for their anger than protection of their enemy. Citizens will be further anger if they do things in this way. They should not think that people are a fool.  Who win hearts and minds will achieve peace. 

Culture sure will lead world to peace. Let’s give peace to our mind. I think It is better to make new culture for Colombia. I get this idea from HWPL(Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light). Isn’t this word itself amazing? From what I know Asian culture, American culture and popular culture is all.

It is Heavenly Culture.

HWPL(Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light) are very good at peace work. Their execution skills are amazing.

I want to soothe Colombia victim’s anger. 🙂

I will show you!!!

New Culture sure will achieve peace!!!

Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War(DPCW) – Article 6 “Dispute settlement”

Why am I interested in international law?

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War(DPCW) - Article 6 "Dispute settlement"

Now In Korea,  Our new nation was built. This micronation’s name is ‘scheleland(maybe incorrect)‘. 

How old is the president? He is 12 years old.

Where? On the roof of grandmother’s house.

Why did he found a nation?  What’s surprising is that It is not joke. He is a very correctly recognize the reality. The reality is so absurd that, he feels. It is concrete and innovative. Also he made their own flag, money and the Constitution.

What’s surprising is establish diplomatic relations with Republic of Užupis. This nation has around 7,000 inhabitants, nearly 1,000 being artists. Wow.

I am in tears when a young chap announced the Constitution. He announced “SOVEREIGNTY RESTS WITH THE PEOPLE OF THE REPUBLIC OF SCHELELAND. ALL POWER COMES FROM THE PEOPLE”.

I’m interested in international law here. “What is law? What Role Does It Play?”

What is Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War(DPCW)?

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War(DPCW) - Article 6 "Dispute settlement"

Existing international law can not resolve the war.

The war should never happen.

So, New international law should be created.

It is birth background of Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War(DPCW).

I like this one best. Most say “The war can’t finish.” But this law says “The war must end.” This is groundbreaking and moving.

Introduce one of them. It is Article 6.

Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War(DPCW) – Article 6 “Dispute settlement”

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War(DPCW) - Article 6 "Dispute settlement"

1. States should recognize the obligation to settle their international disputes through peaceful means including reference to the International Court of Justice, other judicial bodies, regional judicial arrangements, or through arbitration, mediation, conciliation, or other forms of alternative dispute resolution and in such a manner that international peace and security are not endangered. States should carry out any judgment or decision reached by a judicial body in good faith.

2. All states are encouraged to accept the compulsory jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice, in accordance with Article 36, paragraph 2, of the Statute of the Court, without reservations, as a means of ensuring that disputes are settled peacefully and in accordance with international law.(http://peacelaw.org)

The Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War(DPCW) aims at promoting the strengthening of the dispute settlement mechanism at the international level.

The war must be forced to end.

I believe it 🙂

In the early years of the Carter Foundation, Carter established some important management principles as follows.

  • The Center emphasizes action and measurable results. Based on careful research and analysis, it is prepared to take timely action on important and pressing issues.
  • The Center seeks to break new ground and not duplicate the effective efforts of others.
  • The Center addresses difficult problems in difficult situations and recognizes the possibility of failure as an acceptable risk.

I am laughing in here but still many people are unhappy. Carter, expand human rights diplomacy. He thought ‘human is important’.

Just how important the leader is!!! 

His thoughts and values is really really important.

Korea is messed up. I’m sad when I think my homeland.

John Denver ‘The Peace Poem Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream’

John Denver

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE John Denver 'The Peace Poem Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream'

He is an American musician, singer-songwriter, record producer, activist, actor, and humanitarian.  He had attributed to the popularization of country pop and folk music in the 1970s, and also assessed that he lead the environmental movement.

His famous songs are “Take Me Home, Country Roads“, “Annie’s Song“, “Rocky Mountain High“, “Thank God I’m a Country Boy“, and “Sunshine on My Shoulders“.

“Country roads take me home~~~  To the place I belong~~~”  That lyrics still stuck  in my head.
But That song is not one that I’d like to introduce.
What does ‘PEACE’ mean to you? It is really important. 
This song maybe get you the answer.

John Denver ‘The Peace Poem Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream’

There’s a name for war and killing
there’s a name for giving in
when you know another answer
for me the name is sin
but there’s still time to turn around
and make all hatred cease
and give another name to living
and we could call it peace

And peace would be the road we walk
each step along the way
and peace would be the way we work
and peace the way we play

And in all we see that’s different
and in all the things we know
peace would be the way we look
and peace the way we grow

There’s a name for separation
there’s a name for first and last
when it’s all for us or nothing
for me the name is past
but there’s still time to turn around
and make all hatred cease
and give a name to all the future
and we could call it peace

And if peace is what we pray for
and peace is what we give
then peace will be the way we are
and peace the way we live

Yes there still is the time to turn around
and make all hatred cease
and give another name to living
and we can call it peace

It could be too abstract. Someone say it is too idealistic.

This is an imagination. But How would you see this in real life?

And if you could really good, right? Everyone must say ‘I wish I could do that’.

Al Jazeera will make HWPL special documentary to report in over 140 countries

Al Jazeera

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Al Jazeera will make HWPL special documentary to report in over 140 countries

“Small but strong broadcast”

Founded in 1996 against U.S. CNN,  Al Jazeera is spreading around the world a voice of the Arab population in anti-American nationality, pan-Islamic perspective. Al Jazeera started to be known in the West through ‘war on terror’.

When is it emerging as a global broadcasting? Al-Jazeera revealed for the first time what it says is a new audiotape from al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.

Although some media outlets in the West points out that biased to the al Qaeda since 9/11, looking at Al Jazeera they report objective and fair, and any forces in the world, unbiased independent reports.

Interbrand assessed Al Jazeera as the world’s most influential media brand in 2004. Following Apple, Google, Starbucks and IKEA, Al Jazeera recorded the world`s fifth-largest brand power in brand impact survey. Al Jazeera English gain 100 million households viewers, Broadcast news linked to the YouTube was to make the top 10 list and The website hits more than 60 million a week.

The motto of the independent, objective toward Al Jazeera broadcast news is ‘World  News, Local Viewpoint’. They are trying to act to match their motto. Al Jazeera is now represent ‘conscience of the Middle East’. In that news we can see How innocent citizens were suffering and dying in war.

Al Jazeera will make HWPL special documentary to report in over 140 countries.

This business agreement was signed in September 18th. We know that beacuse IGIHE reported on October 7th 2016.

HOW?

Cooperative relationship between HWPL and Al Jazeera started in Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) at March 14th 2016 in Seoul.

After Al Jazeera are deeply moved by Lee’s devoted peace activities, Al Jazeera has continued to interact with HWPL.

The purpose of this memorandum is to lead ‘World Peace’. How?  Two organizations worked together to rapidly deliver peace education and culture of peace to everyone, including women, youth, religious leaders.

What is DPCW?

Do you know ‘2nd Annual Commemoration of the WARP(World Alliance of Religions Peace) Summit’? Here in ‘Advocacy Forum for the DPCW’ They understand the role of each layer and discuss the action plan to present ‘DPCW’ to the United Nations. So that it can be established by international law.

Lee say“The Declaration that we drafted is a new legal framework that can bring about the cessation of war and world peace. Prime ministers and chief justices together with the National Assembly of each nation must acknowledge the value and principles of the DPCW and propel and support the development process of the DPCW. All of us who are moving forward to the creation of the new era of peace have to work together to complete our common goal of peace. This will be eternally recorded in history as the work of light to the world.”

“Civil society has to participate with governments in the codification and progressive development of international law. Indeed, CSO represent the conscience of Humankind and their voices are essential to ensure progress in the action taken by States within the United Nations. The DPCW provides positive elements to foster the dialogue and reconciliation among religions. Religious leaders should continue their work against the fundamentalism and the political instrumentalization of some religions. Women, youth and political leaders from around the world, are invited to join their voices to achieve peace and cessation of war as a binding rule of all States.”

2014 WARP(World Alliance of Religions Peace Summit)  is assessed at the greatest peaceful event of all time. This event participate with 30 countries head of state, 50 ministerial personnel, 680 religious leaders in 120 countries and 600 youth activists in 150 countries .

After that, HWPL have events to mark every year.  In this ‘2nd Annual Commemoration of the WARP Summit’ people can feel authenticity of peace movement and they think it is systematical and emotional events.
