Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), an international NGO affiliated with the UN ECOSOC, held events from January 27 to 30 to raise awareness of peace building in Indonesia. The Bar Association of Indonesia, Himpunan Advokat Pengacara Indonesia (HAPI), discussed the ways to develop the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) drafted by HWPL to establish an international law for peace as a legally binding document at both national and international levels.

On this, Head of the HAPI, Mrs. Dr. Hj. Elza Syarief said, “The DPCW contains provisions that essentially stop the war-like activities. So the enactment of the DPCW is a definite answer to the end of the war and achievement of peace.”

They are law experts, religious leaders, youth and women groups, education experts, and journalists of Fiji. Why? The inauguration ceremony of Fiji Peace Steering Committee was held. How great is it? It is trustworthy because it was hosted by an International NGO, Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL). One participant said “From today’s meeting, I feel like we are really moving forward. We had a lot of feedback today from people who know how to do peace activities.”

“Though we are living in the multi-cultural and multi-relation society but I think ‘tolerance’ is still a bit not well known by most people. So, it will take time and I will try my best to give my contribution in any way to help the HWPL team so that we all move toward to our mission which is to achieve world peace.” – Mr. Bhagirati Bhan, a representative from University of South Pacific (USP) Hindu Society

Father Peter Parlad Kumar, a priest of Anglican Archdiocese of Fiji, who was appointed as Chairperson of Fiji Peace Steering Committee, said “Scriptures of each religion prohibit religious discrimination and discriminations caused by religions in the world are contrary to the teachings of each religious scripture. That’s why they should be eradicated for world peace.” It is time to discuss the direction of future improvement of peace activities in Fiji.

Journalists Who Change the World

The present state of journalism

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Journalists Who Change the World World Peace World Alliance of Religions’ Peace (WARP) Summit the Guardian the duty of journalism the Conference for Global Peace Media Network Restoration of Light journalists international NGO International Federation of Journalists IFJ HWPL Heavenly Culture flow of journalism dailytrust change my future   One media, dailytrust, said ‘For journalists, 2017 represented misfortune of journalism’. Why? I wonder why, too. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) says at least 81 reporters were killed and violence against media soared last year. Also, more than 70 media companies were closed in Venezuela. Also, the Guardian reported that “Global press freedom plunges to worst level this century” mainly due to government censorship, crime targeted at journalists and financial pressures associated with the growth of the internet. What do you think we should do? They are not frustrated. They want to respond to such challenge and turn it into an opportunity. So, some journalists around the world in collaboration with an international NGO have been seeking ways to enhance press freedom through the international media network and peace journalism in relation.

HWPL : Where should we go?

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Journalists Who Change the World World Peace World Alliance of Religions’ Peace (WARP) Summit the Guardian the duty of journalism the Conference for Global Peace Media Network Restoration of Light journalists international NGO International Federation of Journalists IFJ HWPL Heavenly Culture flow of journalism dailytrust change my future In 2017, Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), said in a statement recently that it formed a series Media Forums to establish a working group of journalists around the world. Why? It want to research the flow of journalism globally and redefine the duty of journalism.

On September 17, 2017, at the World Alliance of Religions’ Peace (WARP) Summit, “the Conference for Global Peace Media Network – Freedom of the Press and International Peace Media Community Initiative” was held with 100 journalists from 50 countries around the world. What is important is that the establishment of media agencies concentrating on peace can raise public awareness, and more and more journalists should participate in delivering news of peace and settlement of the conflict rather than conflict itself. I sincerely ask journalists to change my future.

“Who can play the most important role in making a world of peace without conflicts? It depends on journalists. If journalists dedicate themselves to peace-building efforts, thoughts of people especially politicians will change. So we have high expectation in journalism” – Chairman Lee of HWPL

Also, one pastor said “The founder of religion should not teach from his own knowledge but on the basis of the which the person has received from heaven.”

“What is required is to think about how to make people as human being and teach the values of human being. It can be establishing religious studies in schools and build programs regarding human development together with spiritual enhancement,” said Mr. Kumarn.
