The Nobel Peace Prize 2007 “Al” Gore #4

“Al” Gore

“Al” Gore is an American environmentalist and politician.

I first know him as a environmental activist. He is famous.

WHY?

Now you know? He deliver a talk to warn the world about the dangers of global warming more than a thousand times!!!

The Nobel committee indicate that “Global warming is a serious risk that induce large scale migration and the fiercer competition for the planet’s resources to increase the risk of war and conflict “.

Gore and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Committee alert the world to these risks. So The Nobel committee give credit for Gore and Climate Change Committee.

Do you know ‘An Inconvenient Truth’?

It is a 2006 documentary film directed by Davis Guggenheim about former United States Vice President Al Gore‘s campaign. It alerts the public to an increasing “planetary emergency” due to global warming. The documentary was a critical and box-office success, winning two Academy Awards for Best Documentary Feature and Best Original Song.

Hmm.. I know Al gore is a controversial figure. But I don’t want to say about this problem. I want to focus on “How hard he try to achieve PEACE“

The surprising thing is that More people are becoming interested in environmental issues. So Al gore can win a Nobel Prize. Finally I would like to pay a standing ovation to his efforts. Beyond that I cannot say more.

Judgment is your free. But Freedom carries responsibility.

“It takes time to connect the dots, I know that. But I also know that there can be a day of reckoning when you wish you had connected the dots more quickly.” – Al Gore

I think 2nd Annual Commemoration of September 18th WARP Summit largely can be divided into three part.

First. Conferences and Forums.
Second. “PEACE March”-themed world parade and traditional cultural performances.
Third. “War and Peace “ cards section performances.

They always make an effort to achieve peace. They go deep into the Action plan(s) based on common ground of understanding and practicality of the DPCW to create “tangible results at a national level”. They are really longing for peace. But in fact, we have to thank them. I was deeply touched by their cordiality.

Why do they want peace more then us?

We are One. We are not different. Do you agree? I agree!!! We want ‘peace’. We don’t want to see my friends and family dying. Who want to? But we turned a blind eye to people dying. Who died? Our friends!!! So many young lives were sacrificed in the war.

What’re they getting out of this war?

Second. “PEACE March”-themed world parade and traditional cultural performances.

There are so many cultures. I feel like ‘The world come in my mind’. It’s so beautiful and amazing. I can’t imagine how hard they try.

Why? I think they are very culturally advanced.

This is really must be watched. Only someone who are on the spot can feel vividly. This picture is so colorful, isn’t it? It is my favorite picture.

Lastly after light glows in the dark, international law expert, all over the incumbent ministers, religious leaders, leaders of women and youth groups begin to parade.

Messengers of peace yell out a cheer!!!!

Someone say “Please give us peace… help us..” “We believe in you guys”

Everybody joins hands and dances around. There are no authoritative adults. They are becoming one in the name of “peace”.

I feel like “Peace is really really coming”

**Third. “War and Peace “ cards section performances.**

About 12,000 HWPL members make this picturesque scenery. 12,000 people seem small as numbers. But Look closely and you will find how hard they try.

Someone must say “How much money you need to move them?” I was curious about that too. If you are sitting over there, Can you put up with it? The sun grew blazing as the day wore on.

We are so free but that HWPL members can’t move. We eat our snack but that HWPL members can’t eat anything. We can see this beautiful performance but that HWPL members only see their back of card.

They move like that only for peace.

How many people could “move like that”?

“There is no path to peace. Peace is the path.” (Mahatma Gandhi)

See you. Peace is coming 🙂

HWPL has no Borders!! Three HWPL Peace Community

HWPL has no Borders!!!!!!!!

You already know well about HWPL. But I’ll let you know more.

HWPL transcends culture, religion, ideology, and boundaries.

WHY? Because they want to achieve PEACEFUL HARMONY!!!

HWPL is actively interacting with world leaders and many nations.

HWPL don’t do it alone. HWPL has three sincere friends.

Who are they?

There are HWPL International Law Peace Committee, Advisory Council / Publicity Ambassadors and HWPL Peace Advocacy Committee.

HWPL International Law Peace Committee: It is comprised of renowned international law experts from 15 countries. Its goal is achieving peace through establishing a legally binding instrument compatible with the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW).; This law has 10 articles. These GIF images are incredible. It is a simple but effective medium. I want you to see it. 🙂

This law do so many things. There are prosecution of act of violence, disposal of destructive weapons, and role of religions in conflict resolution.

The committee members are men of learning and experience. So they continue to provide their expertise and insights.

It go into operation to develop DPCW into an enforceable law and motivate global citizens. So there are are many citizens to support and advocate for HWPL‘s Peace Law Initiative.

HWPL Advisory Council / Publicity Ambassadors

HWPL Advisory Council consists of distinguished world leaders. They provides advisory opinion and analysis on initiatives of HWPL in their respective fields of profession.

HWPL Publicity Ambassadors are well-known personalities. They make a promise to actively build awareness and directly engage in publicizing HWPL’s peace activities through on and offline platforms.

The surprising thing is that The Publicity Ambassadors meet regularly to discuss ways to support HWPL’s vision.

How?

Holding promotional events, Educating the public, Covering HWPL’s news on media, Utilizing their networks etc.

HWPL Peace Advocacy Committee

HWPL Peace Advocacy Committee consists of active members of the International Women’s Peace Group (IWPG) and the International Peace Youth Group (IPYG).

What do they do?

The goal of this committee is to promote and participate in the development process of turning the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) into an enforceable law.

Is it special?

The committee is in a unique position to urge their respective nations to recognize and adopt the principles of DPCW. This internal pressure from the Peace Advocacy Committee would create and promote a lasting culture of peace – including creating awareness-raising activities, commemorations, and initiatives that engage the public consciousness with peace.

“To sensational peace summit which everyone participates in. I invite you all.”

The Purpose of the Establishment

: “Achieving World Peace as an inheritance to our future generations”

Its purpose is achieving world peace and the cessation of war.

HWPL‘s SOLUTIONS are ‘International Law for Peace and Cessation of War‘ and ‘Alliance of Religions‘.

It has come into its own as the greatest groundbreaking and substantive solutions of peace.

HWPL is committed to practical approach to world peace.

HWPL is committed to the cessation of war.

How could they do that?

It is the establishment of international peace initiatives in legal, social and religious aspects.

It is the establishment of an enforceable law compatible with the*Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) and *the World Alliance of Religions’ Peace (WARP) offices.

But also International Women’s Peace Group (IWPG) and International Peace Youth Group (IPYG) play a significant role in peace building and conflict resolution as active proponents of peace.

What is Heavenly Culture?

Heavenly Culture? Have you ever heard Heavenly Culture before?

To live according to a Heavenly culture is to live according to the principles and values of heaven, a place that gives light, rain and air without boundaries.

It is also to live according to the Creator, who is the foundation of all creation.

HWPL’s core values are Peace and Respect for life.

HWPL is engaging communities all over the world with a spirit of Love and Harmony.

It is hard. I know that. But It is worth as much as difficult.

Do you believe peace is possible?

Someone says “It is impossible because there are always people who are greedy and selfish”. Also other man says “It is possible because there are always people who are warm altruist“.

I don’t think who is correct.

I can’t think who is correct.

But I can think HWPL’s SOLUTIONS are very practical approach.

It looks like PEACE is really possible.

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE The Nobel Peace Prize 1993 Nelson Mandela #3 featured — SONY DSC

Do you know that? He was in prison for a long time. How long?

26 years!!!!! It’s surprising!!!!

It’s sad.. And I have mixed feelings.

Why did he go to jail? Hmm… It’s mixed.

in 1961 Mandela, Sisulu, and Slovo co-founded Umkhonto we Sizwe (“Spear of the Nation”, abbreviated MK). Becoming chairman of the militant group, Mandela gained ideas from Marxist literature on guerilla warfare by Mao and Che Guevara as well as from the military theorist Carl von Clausewitz.(Wikipedia)

So he was captured in 1962. He gave his final testimony in court. It is called Rivonia Trial Speech in 1964.

“I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons will live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to see realised. But if it needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.”

After 30 years later his inauguration took place in Pretoria on 1994.

“We understand it still that there is no easy road to freedom. We know it well that none of us acting alone can achieve success. We must therefore act together as a united people, for national reconciliation, for nation building, for the birth of a new world. Let there be justice for all. Let there be peace for all. Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all. Let each know that for each the body, the mind and the soul have been freed to fulfill themselves. Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another and suffer the indignity of being the skunk of the world.” – Inaugural Speech in 1994

Now you read this essay…

What do you feel…?

Your feeling is the most important thing for your sake. It is the most important thing that I think!!

I don’t know much about politics. I don’t know much about ideology.

So I can’t make a judgement that Nelson Mandela is good or bad.

The purpose of this essay is just to share the enlightenment.

“What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.”

– Nelson Mandela

This time I want to introduce Malala Yousafzai.

Do you know her? Hang on to your hats!!

She is just only 17 years old in 2014. She is the youngest Nobel peace prize winner.

Why she is so influential?

On the afternoon of 9 October 2012, Yousafzai boarded her school bus in the northwest Pakistani district of Swat.

A gunman asked for her by name, then pointed a pistol at her and fired three shots. One bullet hit the left side of Yousafzai‘s forehead, travelled under her skin through the length of her face, and went into her shoulder.

In the days immediately following the attack, she remained unconscious and in critical condition.(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

But She recovered her health!!! It’s a miracle.

Her walk started at 11-12 years old. Yousafzai wrote a blog at that time to change the world.

The world was in an uproar over this assassination.

It is a opportunity for her to change the world.

The 2013, 2014 and 2015 issues of Time magazine featured Yousafzai as one of “The 100 Most Influential People in the World”

In July 2013, she spoke at the headquarters of the United Nations to call for worldwide access to education

In February 2014, she was nominated for the World Children’s Prize in Sweden.

Later in 2014, Yousafzai was announced as the co-recipient of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize, along with Kailash Satyarthi(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
