Meaning of the Olympics : All being united by the spirit of the Olympics

How much do you know about the Olympics?

The Olympic Flag is a symbol of the Olympic Games. What do the five coloured interlocking rings represent? The Olympic flag symbolizes all nations being united by the spirit of the Olympics. The Olympic torch also represents “A symbol of world peace“. The Olympic Games are a series of international matches based on justice and cooperation, and aimed at peace-building. The UN General Assembly adopted an Olympic Truce for the PyeongChang 2018 Olympics, Paralympic Winter Games.

“Work for peace! We are living in a time of many wars and the call for peace must be shouted. Peace sometimes gives the impression of being quiet, but it is never quiet, peace is always proactive and dynamic.” – Top 10 secrets to happiness, Pope Francis

Peace Education Forum for Spreading a Culture of Peace

Peace Education development Forum

HWPL carries out its Peace Education Initiative, which is formed through the Values of Peace based on the ‘Sanctity of Life’, ‘Loyalty and Filial Piety’, and ‘Co-Existence and Sustainability’. Its purpose is to cultivate and train children and students to become true citizens of peace. In order to solve the issues of extreme violence, persistent conflicts and disharmony, education is essential. The opportunity is given to adequately learn these values of peace. Can you feel the necessity of ‘Peace Education‘? In in-depth discussion, you can realize the spreading of a culture of peace in accordance with Article 10 of the DPCW through these education. Last September, these education specialists held several meetings and actual education demonstrations to assist in establishing HWPL Peace Academies worldwide and provide the educational contents for the peace education curriculum.

Spreading a Culture of Peace

At the 4th HWPL International Law Peace Committee meeting, which was held during the 2nd Annual Commemoration of the WARP Summit last year, a large number of participants came from groups working in the field of education including Ministers of Education Departments worldwide, who attended the Session for the Ministers and Education Specialists for Spreading a Culture of Peace as described in the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW).

They discussed ways to devise education mechanisms for the purpose of the implementation and development of peace as a cultural asset, which is clearly emphasized in the Declaration, stating that the culture of peace is must be acquired, safeguarded and transmitted from generation to generation.

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

HWPL’s another Solution is the World Alliance of Religions’ Peace(WARP) offices. The war that caused by religion is 80 percent of all. The religious leaders have to more love people. So, we must make the religion one thing. How? We can find the most reliable religion by comparison between scriptures of each religion. The HWPL is an really influential group.

Active footsteps for peace in Egypt

Nowadays of Egypt

Islamic extremism and terrorism posed a threat to the Middle East. Although people want to cope with the threat, there are many hardships of peace. Why? We had precedents. The 2017 Palm Sunday church bombings killed 45 people and the 2014 Tata bus bombing resulted from a suicide bomber carrying explosives. So, the government of Egypt declared a state of emergency. How long will the war be? Frankly, we are fed up with death, misery and sorrow. Have you ever been experienced? It is the most painful experience. Even in such a horrible situation, the flower of peace is blooming.

Two representatives of HWPL International Law Peace Committee

They dedicated their efforts to the promotion of peace projects based on the spirit of the DPCW. Why? They love peace and participated in drafting the DPCW. What did they do? They helped supporting campaigns for DPCW to become national and international levels. And Media representatives do a role to report the news of peace to citizens in Middle East.

Dr. Said El Dakkak, Professor of International Law at Alexandria University, said “Now we have this declaration, we have this already drafted and launched, but the hard work has started now. We have to go further, all the way, in the ways of the national level, the international level through the civil organizations, and inter-governmental organizations.”

Mr. Kamal Khalifa Abdelrahman Mahmoud, President of the Arab Foundation for Development and Peace, has contributed to media power. He even founded Alsalamnews to cover the news of peace around the world, including those of HWPL. He said, “Peace in its general sense does not mean the absence of conflicts, but rather the process of rooting a set of values, attitudes, traditions and lifestyles based on full respect for the principles of sovereignty, human rights and fundamental freedoms, and on dialogue and cooperation among nations and cultures. We see that everything beautiful in life comes from peace.”

Egypt is now seeking to find a solution

https://player.vimeo.com/video/178150046

He introduced other Egyptian journalists who love peace to HWPL. The cool thing is that they decided to share the peace news with people in the region faster and more accurately. He is now planning to open ‘HWPL News’ to exclusively cover the news of peace for HWPL and the DPCW in the Arabic language. Egypt is now seeking to find a solution to peace for all humanity. The answer is already discovered. It is the DPCW. We need only just do! Do you hate peace? There is no one who doesn’t like peace. Then, you can just do it! The DPCW is the perfect solution to achieve peace.

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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‘.
