2023 HWPL World Peace Summit Archives

LP Program: 2023 DPCW Conference “Legislate Peace(LP)”

In commemoration of the 9th 2023 HWPL World Peace Summit, 61 discussions were held. Participants from 45 countries in the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Europe engaged in meetings.

Do you know DPCW? DPCW is the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War. What is expected now is that the DPCW is the answer to peace.

10 Articles of DPCW contain three important values

1st, Prevention of conflict (Article 1-5)
2nd, Settlement of conflict (Article 6-7)
3rd, Maintenance of peace (Article 8-10)

Full text of DPCW is here.

I wish you had the opportunity to read these slowly. If you read them one by one, you can see that those who truly love peace have clearly confirmed it.

Since 2016, from the civic level, everyone has tried to bring the DPCW to the United Nations.

The “Legislate Peace” (LP) project is a global initiative to support and advocate for the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) and its implementation at the international level.

The LP project started off as the Sign Your Support campaign, which was launched to promote the value of the DPCW as a solution for achieving global peace and urge different sectors of society to support this declaration.

At the 2023 DPCW Conference, the MOU and MOA agreements for the operation and collaboration of peace activities (10 topics), and the national support needed for the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) at the national level (15 topics) were discussed.

In total, 61 project goals were established, and a signing ceremony to implement these projects took place.

After three days of discussions, the DPCW Conference held on September 20th announced the results of the discussions. At the conference, a “Joint Statement on Conflict Resolution and Spreading a Culture of Peace” was publicly released.

This statement emphasizes cooperation and a shared commitment to realizing the DPCW and implementing peace activities. A total of 166 individuals signed the joint statement.

I think selfishness is the most important part to solve in order to achieve peace. People should let go of their greed. Profit should not be more important than life.

I hope we can be peace messengers together. It’s very easy. You just need to change one little thing in your daily life. Let’s find a way together.

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!

[Challenge] HWPL Supporters ONE Assemble!!

The HWPL (Chairman man hee lee) is the most substantial and powerful organization I know of peace. They are made up of powerful people.
I became a fan because of it, and I’m very proud. 🙂

From the 18th to the 21st, 1,800 people from 121 countries around the world, including the United States, the Philippines, South Africa, Pakistan, Thailand, Romania and India, attended the 2023 HWPL World Peace Summit.

For four days, HWPL signed MOUs/MOAs with about 140 organizations, including the Ministry of Education of five countries and the National Committee of UNESCO of five countries.

In addition, the “World Religious Peace Academy” was established in which religious leaders from around the world understand and harmonize with each other over a total of five times, including Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Islam, and Christianity. It is said that it has become a place to learn and compare other religious writings with an open mind and realize “religious peace.”

HWPL has opened 282 WARP offices in 131 countries so far, and is expected to expand further with this ceremony.

At the ceremony, substantial and practical strategies for enacting legally binding peace international law (DPCW) were discussed by country and field. Legislate Peace (LP) projects became ‘LP Program’. It means that it has become more organized.

Why are women gathering?

Because they are mother..
Young people lose their lives in the war, and they are someone’s sons.

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE 2023 International Women’s Peace Conference mother's love leemanhee hwpl iwpg mother IWPG 918 WARP Summit 2023 HWPL World Peace Summit

IWPG unites with women all around the world to fundamentally solve conflicts and violence on the earth.

Through this, IWPG protects precious lives from war and passes down peace as a legacy to the future generation.

How can achieve Peace?

IWPG strives to find a fundamental solution for all conflicts and wars ranging from those that exist among individuals to those among different states in the international community and tries to build a new order that will establish a sustainable world of peace.

For this, each individual must realize their importance as an actor in the peace process and act upon it, which can be done through women’s peace education.

If women unite and raise their voices for the establishment of an international peace law and peace institutions, they will be able to break the vicious cycle of conflict and bring true peace to this world that our future generations can enjoy forever.

“Now is the time to realize peace.
Women all around the world should come together and
end violence, war, and conflict to open a new ever of peace.”

“The night is dark, but there is still a light of hope because there is the moon. Let’s all become messengers of peace that bring an end to war and realize true peace to pass down as a legacy to the future generation.
If we women come together as one, we can do it.”

– Hyun Sook Yoon, the Chairwoman of the International Women’s Peace Group (IWPG)

Women are special because they can conceive life and raise the future generation. This is a video from last year! It would be fun to see how different it is. I hope you’ll see for yourself. 🙂

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!

2023 6th International Religious Leaders’ Conference

Why does religion have such a big impact on peace?

The answer is easy when and why people fight. When you think differently, when you have different cultures, you perceive other people as others.

Then you fight with others to protect yourself and for your own gain.

Different religions mean that there is a very big difference in thought. The culture is completely different, and the difference in beliefs is quite large.

That’s why 80 percent of the world’s wars have been fought for religious reasons so far. Therefore, religious leaders cannot achieve complete peace without becoming one.

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE 2023 6th International Religious Leaders' Conference WARP Offices Philippine Mindanao Peacebuilding Mindanao peace agreement manheelee peace leader hwpl world peace summit 918 WARP Summit 2023 HWPL World Peace Summit — *There are also conflicts between other different religions*

Mindanao is a prime example.

Mindanao is on the path to peace after ending the military collision between the Philippine government and Moro groups, which lasted over 40 years and resulted in more than 120,000 casualties.

In General Santos on 24 January 2014, a civilian agreement was signed for the peace of Mindanao. The signing ceremony, hosted by HWPL and organized by the IWPG and the IPYG, was attended by over 300 residents including politicians, university professors, religious leaders, and students.

The Chairman of HWPL Man-hee Lee, war veteran over 90 years old, shouted, “If you want peace, raise your hand!!”

Before the audience, Archbishop Emeritus Fernando Robles Capalla of Archdiocese of Davao and Governor Esmael G. Mangudadatu of Maguindanao signed the agreement as representatives to cooperate in ceasing the conflict and building peace.

With this agreement as a starting point, HWPL launched a peace movement to raise public awareness of peace not only in Mindanao but throughout the WORLD.

HWPL WARP Offices : 277 offices in 129 countries

In accordance with the World Alliance of Religions Agreement signed by major world religious leaders, the strategies in the efforts for building peace in the religious community are also steadily being implemented.

India’s WARP Office began on January 4, 2015, and as of November 2021, five are in operation, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai and Pune. It held more than 350 meetings online and offline.

The HWPL World Alliance of Religions’ Peace (WARP) Offices have been established and actively operated in 130 countries around the world, contributing to preventing religious disputes and promoting harmony through close dialogue and communication between different religions.

When religious leaders and believers focus on the value embedded in their scriptures and promote understanding of each other’s text, harmony among religious groups is possible.

you can be the messenger of peace. 🙂

2023 International Youth Peace Conference (feat. IPYG & YEPW)

2023 International Youth Peace Conference

Date: 2023. Sep. 18th, 5:30PM(GMT+9)

Event site: http://worldpeacesummit.org

Why is the IPYG so striving for peace?

The reason is that they are young people, and that they are the subjects to fight in the event of a war.

Have you ever experienced a war? It can vary depending on the country and age in which you live.
Or have you ever imagined a war? What was the war like in the movie?

I think war is ‘very terrible’ itself. War does not make winners. There is no grass left where the missiles have fallen countless times. What happiness is there in the place where the next comrade is dying?

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE 2023 International Youth Peace Conference (feat. IPYG & YEPW) YEPW IPYG peace letter campaign IPYG hwpl world peace summit 2023 HWPL World Peace Summit

After the war, who is the winner? I don’t think it’s the young people who died in the war. Who will pay for their lives?

I don’t want to denigrate their spirit of sacrifice for their country. If humans could have put down their selfishness a little more, they might have lived a better life without dying.

Discussion on Running Youth Engagement & Peacebuilding Working group (YEPW) Globally

The International Peace Youth Group (IPYG), an organization under HWPL, has formed a Youth Engagement & Peacebuilding Working group (YEPW) around affiliated organizations in 119 countries seeking to maintain citizen-led peace and promote a culture of peace.

Today’s topic is how to move globally. Young representatives from each country will have a hard discussion today. The sight of their eyes makes my heart warm. Because I feel their passion for peace.

They campaigned vigorously for peace letters and wrote letters to presidents. In addition, they are continuing various activities by building networks with various young people.

For example, the IPYG aims at making a miracle of world peace by joining efforts with the 1.4 billion youths around the world. Every May 25th, the IPYG Peace Walk is held in every corner of the world.

The IPYG is working to sow a culture of peace in every hearts and minds of youth by executing projects to put the Article 10 of the DPCW – Spreading a Culture of Peace into action.

The IPYG members paint peace walls, host and participate in various peace-themed contests and peace concert.

Isn’t it very meaningful to plan something for peace yourself, think about it, and make it happen?
It can be small, so I want you to practice it in your daily life!

Let me know in the comments if you’ve done anything.

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!

2023 HWPL Global Peace Education Conference

Global Peace Education Conference

What is the core of HWPL Peace Education?

If you were a peace teacher, what would you teach children like white paper?

“It is an education that fosters citizens of peace
with the value and spirit of peace.”
HWPL homepage

HWPL starts from here.

There is no place under heaven and earth that is more beautiful and better to live in than the Earth.

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE 2023 HWPL Global Peace Education Conference manheelee world peace tour man hee lee peace education hwpl world peace summit HWPL Peace education 2023 HWPL World Peace Summit

However, many people are suffering from war, famine, a gap between the rich and the poor, environmental pollution, and more all over the world due to human greed and selfishness.

This is a really serious problem. But at the same time, it is also true that no one can handle it. We must let go of each other’s greed.

Therefore, HWPL proposed peace education as a way to leave a beautiful world of peace as a legacy for the future generations.

Structure of Peace Education Curriculum

About 50 education experts from various countries participated in reviewing the peace education curriculum. As of 2019, the standard curriculum is comprised of 12 lessons.

HWPL Peace Academies are 277 institutions/schools in 48 countries

Let me give you an example.

On January 23, 2018, a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was signed with the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), a government-affiliated organization that oversees educational institutions above universities in the Philippines.

The Commission on Higher Education is a national institution directly under the Presidential Office and manages and supervises more than 1,000 higher education institutions (university or higher).

Good Examples of HWPL Peace Education

Commissioner Ronald L. Adamat of the CHED has been preparing to promote the work of peace in HWPL since he attended the 3rd anniversary of the September 18 HWPL World Peace Summit in 2017 in South Korea.

As a result, the MOA was signed on the same day to express its willingness to materialize and implement peace education.

Starting with national universities, HWPL peace education was implemented throughout the Philippines.
Aren’t you curious how far it’s gone now?

This is only part of it and much more people are moving for peace education. Isn’t that amazing? Take a look with interest. 🙂

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!

The 9th Anniversary of the September 18th HWPL World Peace Summit is set to be held on 18 September 2023 in Seoul, Korea.

This is like a festival of peace. If you participate here, you will feel as if peace has been made. You will really want peace. 🙂

I thought again about the core part of HWPL(Chairman Man hee Lee).
What are the best 5 things? I organized it based on my thoughts.

What is the 5 keywords of HWPL?

Peace Network (Law for Peace)
HWPL is working with governments and internatinal organizations for the adoption of the DPCW at the international level
Solidarity with Global Citizens
HWPL is working in solidarity with global citizens to carry out peace activities
Interfaith Harmony
HWPL is promoting interfaith harmony to prevent conflicts between religions
Culture of Peace (Peace Education)
HWPL is endeavoring to spread a culture of peace, which is one of the core values of the DPCW.
HWPL carry out various peace activities and has many partners I’m going to write down the list below.

HWPL’s activities in numbers (source: HWPL homepage)
- World Peace Tours : 31 tours
- Areements : 17 MOAs / 311MOUs
- Signatures in supprot of the DPCW : 741,655 from 176 countries
- WARP Offices : 277 offices in / 129 countries
- HWPL Peace Academies : 277 institutions / schools in 48 countries
- HWPL Peace Advisory Council : 200 members
- HWPL Publicity Ambassadors : 627 ambassadors
- HWPL International Law Peace Committee : 19 members

It is very encouraging that work for peace has continued steadily over the past nine years. If you think about it, it’s really touching. Because people don’t care about peace.

What is the role of Global Peace Leader?

Why is so much work possible in such a short time? I think this is because the Chairman Lee Man-hee, who is the center of HWPL even at an age over 90, is here. He’s a really powerful driver.

2023 HWPL World Peace Summit is held to examine the key achievements of the agreements signed that day, and establish future plans.

This year, each session will be broadcast live. I’m really looking forward to it!! Each session will be attended by numerous peacemakers invited from abroad. I’m looking forward to what each person will say and what they’ve done.

This year, they’re going to talk more about DPCW and LP program. I think it would be good to focus on that more.

See you at the next post. 🙂

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!

[D-day] 918 HWPL WARP Summit Press Conference

What is HWPL?

What is this abbreviation about?
Maybe, you haven’t heard ever it. But it is truly nessary to know about this, if you want to be a peace maker.

HWPL, a non-governmental organization, is associated with the UN Department of Global Communications (DGC) and in Special Consultative Status with the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE [D-day] 918 HWPL WARP Summit Press Conference PressConference hwpl world peace summit hwpl manheelee 918WARPSummit 2023 HWPL World Peace Summit

HWPL aims to achieve world peace through the heavenly culture and restore the global community with light across the world.

Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL) has led initiatives that propose multidimensional strategies inclusive of governments, intergovernmental organizations, and civil society in the efforts for implementing conflict resolution and establishing peace.

HWPL is leading an international peace movement with leaders in all walks of life without being limited by national, cultural, or ideological boundaries.

What is the value of journalists?

HWPL always holds press conferences when it does 918 events. Why is that?

As mentioned above, HWPL is really aware of the value of the role of journalists.

The ability of journalists seems to be in writing. With the power of powerful writing, something intangible is embodied.

If you want to experience the power, you should listen to the press conference for yourself. If you analyze every word, it feels deeper. 🙂
