Carter? Didn’t you hear a lot? Yes. It is ‘Jimmy Carter’.
Jimmy Carter
He is famous in Korea because he negotiated with North Korea to stop war. He is the first man who visited to North Korea.
After his retirement, Jimmy Carter’s movements is assessed at the greatest among former presidents.
At the center of that movements, there was ‘Carter Center’.
Carter Center
‘Carter Center’ did a significant contribution to the human rights as well as rearranging of international disputes. It made him win the Nobel Peace Prize 2002.
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.
The Center is nonpartisan, actively seeks complementary partnerships and works collaboratively with other organizations from the highest levels of government to local communities.
The Center believes that people can improve their own lives when provided with the necessary skills, knowledge, and access to resources.
This video is in Carter Center homepage. I’minthemoodtocry.
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.
“It is good to realize that if love and peace can prevail on earth, and if we can teach our children to honor nature’s gifts, the joys and beauties of the outdoors will be here forever. – Jimmy Carter”
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.
“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’.
HWPL is really achieving it. They do now ‘Legislate Peace Campaign‘. Already International law is declared in 2016-3-14. Now tabling it to the United Nations remained.
It is Big Picture. This Card Section show all from start to finish. Imagine.
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 whatit says isanewaudiotapefromal-Qaida leader Osama binLaden.
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 says “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.
to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and
to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and
to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and
to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,
AND FOR THESE ENDS
to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbours, and
to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security, and
to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest, and
to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all peoples,
HAVE RESOLVED TO COMBINE OUR EFFORTS TO ACCOMPLISH THESE AIMS
Accordingly, our respective Governments, through representatives assembled in the city of San Francisco, who have exhibited their full powers found to be in good and due form, have agreed to the present Charter of the United Nations and do hereby establish an international organization to be known as the United Nations.
How do you read?
You’re feelings are really really important.
Isn’titbeautiful? This charter is really beautiful. But the reality is?
I want to ask you first. Did you know UN has that purpose?
I want to ask people who work in UN. Did you know UN has that purpose?
I want to ask people who lead UN. Did you know UN has that purpose?
Is it a hollow crys? Is it Only remains through words?
Would ‘PEACE’ touch your mind?
If you had seen a war, you must long forpeace.
If you are a victim, you must long for peace.
If your people has died, you must long for peace.
We need to press on a little bit more.
“Everything is lost in war. Everything is gained with peace” – Pope Francis
He is a member of Britain’s legendary group ‘Beatles’. John Lennon and Paul McCartney are assessed “They wrote the most popular music in rock ‘ n ‘ roll history.” the Beatles received a MBE(Memberof the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) in 1965. This is exceptional for a pop at the time. John Lennon returned a MBE medal. John Lennon was later to return this medal with the meaning of criticism in the Vietnam war.
This is again emerging as an issue. Why?
A draft letter sent to Lennon’s queen has been found. A connoisseur of the draft this letter is up to 60,000 pounds.
How?
The man found this draft in albums that he purchased at 10 pounds in 20 years ago. The price rose 60 times. HAHAHA many friends will go to Secondhand store.
It is full text.
To. Her Majesty The Queen
I am returning this MBE in protest against Britain’s involvement in the Nigeria-Biafra thing, against our support of America in Vietnam and against Cold Turkey Slipping down the charts.
John Lennon of Bag
Lennon’s values
We can say John Lennon is greater than the Beatles at some point. The reason why John Lennon is highly regarded is his strong values for social movement.
John Lennon’s most famous song is rightly the 「 imagine 」. This song is telling us to imagine a peaceful world without state and religion.
John Lennon think Gandhian nonviolence is the only way to transform society.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2016 to Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos for his resolute efforts to bring the country’s more than 50-year-long civil war to an end.
This War has cost the lives of at least 220,000 Colombians and displaced close to six million people.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee said the award should also be seen as a tribute to the Colombian people who, despite great hardships and abuses, have not given up hope of a just peace, and to all the parties who have contributed to the peace process. This tribute is paid, not least, to the representatives of the countless victims of the civil war.(www.nobelprize.org)
In addition originally, He is a hardliner on the rebels. 2006 to 2009, while serving as defense minister He dealt a series of blows against the FARC guerrilla group, including the rescue of Fernando Araújo Perdomo, the death of FARC Secretariat member Raul Reyes in a 2 March 2008. So he attain eminence among their own people. However after he became president, He averted his eyes on how to end the civil war fundamentally. The BBC said “A Hawk turned into A Dove”
Colombian Civil War
Despite abundant underground resources such as iron ore, oil, natural gas, Colombia displaced millions of people who end up as refugees and is branded the biggest drug market. Why? Colombia take the long civil war.
Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) began as a peasant uprising in 1964. What was the will of the people who started FARC?
Anyway this War has cost the lives of at least 220,000 Colombians and displaced close to six million people.
220,000 Colombians were died
6,000,000 people were displaced
Colombian Civil War is one of the most prolonged civil war in recent history and It is only armed conflict in the Americas.
PEACE Is Started!!!
By the mediation of CubanPresident Raul Castro, Rodrigo Londono and Santos pledge to a peace agreement in 2016-09-26.
Pen used in their signature is made from real bullet shell used is civil war. In pen grip “The bullet record our past. Education is our future.” is written in Spanish.
After signing a peace agreement consisting of 297, President Santos give white dove badge to Londono. White dove badge is used for years on Santos’s clothes. The Londono locate it into the chest and smiled. The two shook handswith each other.
Why peace agreement is rejected?
Their rejection is because of detail contents of a peace treaty.
War crimes like drug trafficking and kidnapping of civilians in the FARC areexemptedfromobligation. And It ensures the legitimate political participation.
They who lost a family or whose family were taken hostage in FARC are against what is negotiated. Because It is too generous to rebels.
Yes! 49.78% No! 50.21%
But voterturnout was 37%. Dissenting votesis 57,000 more than vote yes.
President Santos said “We dedicate this award to people suffering from civil war and millions of victims” and “We go a little bit and We get very close to peace.” Santos held a national dialogue for the restoration of peace after the vote.
So, I find a similar situation.
Colombia civil war for 52 years220,000 died
Mindanao civil war for 40 years140,000 died
It is really similar. At the same time, I have many questions.
Why Mindanao’s peace agreement is not rejected? What is the difference? How did they use escape clauses?What is the difference?
Now MILF : Moro Islamic Liberation Front.
This 2nd Peace memorial is set up in the inside of MILF at 2016.It is amazing!!!!!!
1st Peace memorial is set up in 2014. Why? By mediation of HWPL, 40 years of Catholic and Muslim religious war was over.
After 2 years, 10,000 people are in line to greet the HWPL. I was deeply moved by the news.
“Lee, brought a powerful message that adds to the power to achieve peace that we hope and desire. It means HWPL and MILF are partner for peace.” – MILF chairman of Al-Hajj Murad Ebrahim
Whatistobedoneabout Colombia civil war?
I think they need more comfort. Wehavemanydifferentemotionssuchashappiness, anger, sadness, and annoyance.
So Respect and communication is needed. It looked like easy but It is really hard.
Finally I think Colombia need to learn ‘how HWPL achieve peace in Mindanao’.
Who are you supposed to root for? ‘Who will win the Nobel peace prize?’ is a name of article that The Guardian writes. The Guardian choose 5 nominees. Aren’t you curious? Let’s see list.
Syrian White Helmets
Angela Merkel
Pope Francis
Greek islanders
Juan Manuel Santos and Timochenko
Syrian White Helmets
There has been no more dangerous place in the world to be a first responder for most of that time. Their motto throughout Syria’s withering conflict has been “to save one life is to save all of humanity”
Angela Merkel
In his speech to the UN refugee summit in New York in September, Barack Obama thanked Merkel and the Germans for their efforts in dealing with the refugee crisis.
Pope Francis
There are many liberals who argue that the pope’s compassion for the poor and his environmental credentials are outweighed by his unbending support for traditional Catholic teaching on abortion and birth control.
Greek islanders
“What we saw was ordinary people, with no order from above, respecting tradition and acting out of sheer hospitality and solidarity. What they did shows the best of humanity in the simplest way.” Helena Smith
Fisherman Stratis Valiamos, 40 said, “People say ‘you’re a hero,’ but this isn’t heroism, it’s the normal thing to do”.
Juan Manuel Santos and Timochenko
The Colombian president, Juan Manuel Santos, and the leader of the Farc rebel group, Rodrigo Londoño, known as Timochenko, were considered leading contenders for the awards for signing a peace deal last month to end 52 years of war.
Who will win the Nobel Peace Prize 2016?
Nobel Peace Prize will be announced tomorrow. I’m throbbing 🙂
“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 theworldaboutthedangersof globalwarming 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. Italerts 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 controversialfigure. 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 Morepeople arebecominginterested inenvironmentalissues. So Al gore can win a Nobel Prize. Finally I would like to pay a standing ovation to his efforts. Beyondthat I cannotsaymore.
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
