The HWPL Fiji Peace Steering Committee was launched to bring together a group of Fijians from religious communities, youth organizations, and civil society to actively promote peace activities in Fiji.
About 4,000 students from Mindanao State University in the Philippines hoped to put an end to current, and prevent future, ideologies of extremism and violence through the Peace Walk.
The DPCW was introduced at the international law conference attended by Supreme Court justices, lawyers and law students in India, and the Supreme Court’s library was furnished with the DPCW through the active participation and support of the attendees.

2nd Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW)
“A Call for Building a World of Peace and Realizing Justice“
On March 14, 2018, I sat at a quiet cafe and watched ‘2nd DPCW’ live broadcast in Australia. The sky was so clear today. Maybe you don’t know, now I’m studying abroad in Australia. I’m from Korea. Unlike Korea, here seems to be more relaxing. ‘Did I come this far and learn all the things to learn?’ ‘Why am I here?’ On these thoughts, I heard the news from HWPL. Today is the 2nd Annual Commemoration of the DPCW. I know a lot of peace groups, but I don’t believe any one. Because they are only saying about peace, not moving. But I can’t help putting my trust in HWPL. We can know them by their walking.
The Walking of HWPL : Substantial
In May 25, 2013 The Declaration of World Peace was proclaimed.
In Sep 16-19, 2014 World Alliance of Religions’ Peace (WARP) Summit

PARLACENXHWPL : Collaboration
Hon. Deputy Paula Lorena Rodriguez Lima
The Central American Parliament(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 120congressmenand congresswomen!!!!
Exclusive Interview with
Hon. Deputy Paula Lorena Rodriguez Lima
She said “I’ve had the advantage of being here now for the3rdtime in Korea [for theWARP 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 areintelligent youthwith 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, Iaspired to convincethe 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.”
What day is it? Drum roll sound~~ 1st Annual Peace Forum of Declaration of International Law! On March 14, 2016, the declaration for the achivement of world peace in this era was proclaimed. It’s a international law. The objective of this law is to remove war in the world without exception. Many influential people are gathered to celebrate this day.
The chairman of HWPL said “We have the answerto achieve Peace” When I heard it first, I can’t understand what it means. Do you? HWPL is working with IPYG and IWPG. IPYG is a group of young people. IWPG is a group of mother. There are really a lot of people. I can’t understand why these two huge group follow HWPL. What a surprising is that leader of IWPG said the same thing. It is that “HWPL has the answer.”

On February 17th, influential people gathered. 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
Fiji Peace Steering Committee
At the event, interfaith dialogue meeting was also held under the topic ‘Discrimination in the name of religion’ celebrating the World Interfaith Harmony Week (WIHW) designated by the UN. 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.

For HWPL, the year 2017 was a quantum leap forward. Peace advocacy projects are spreading all around the world. The Legislate Peace Campaignis to establish an international law for peace. And the WARP Offices are to work for religious harmony. Our progress can be attributed to the journalists who contributed to spreading the news of peace in every corner of the world. Let’s meet MVPs.
Key Peace Messengers in 2017
Mr. Bojan Stojkovski Journalist of Makfax News Agency in Macedonia
3rd WARP Summit, he stated, “Daily reporting on peace initiatives and activities, like the ones that HWPL is conducting, is the best way for journalists to help towards the cause of world peace and in my opinion every journalist needs to be dedicated to this cause.”
Mr. Stojkovski is a direct witness who is deeply aware of the role of the media in peace building. So passion was evident in his every words. He is wokring with HWPL as journalist for 10 years old.
“The international cooperation between professional journalists is something that can always contribute towards strengthening the media sector and thanks to HWPL, this will be a reality. I strongly believe that everyone can make a difference and as a journalist, by participating in this network, everyone can do his part to promote peace activities and to help achieve global peace.”
Jean de Dieu Munyembabazi Editor in Chief & Country Manager at IGIHE Burundi
Despite rich cultural assets, Africa is currently facing the dim prospect of a bright future. There are many ethnic and religious conflicts. Journalists are very dangerous because they are susceptible to imprisonment in the name of conspiracy of breaching national security.
Despite such a negative environment he boldly proclaimed, “I know that if I do not fight this fight, nobody will fight it for me. I do not do this job for money but for the hope that one day, my country will also enjoy the freedom of speech where everyone will not be persecuted, jailed, or killed for their political views or membership – a country where everybody will live and enjoy life whether national or expatriate.”

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.
KOSOVO – A Professorof International Law at the University of Prishtina in Kosovo introduced the principles of the DPCWto the university students, the future leadersof Kosovo, Albania and Macedonia, who then gave their signatures of support.
ZAMBIA – At the Safe World Trust School in Zambia, in the presence of journalists, religious leaders, and other important societal figures,participants discussed the current peace activities in Zambia and expressed their support for the DPCW.
NEPAL – Students at Narayani English Public Higher Secondary School in Nepal recognized the peace work of HWPL and IPYG and painted their ideas and thoughts regarding peace.
MONGOLIA – In Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia Khishigsuren Saranbolor artists and members of IPYGpainted murals together at the Ulaanbaatar 31st kindergarten with the hope of peace. #LegislatePeace
There is no path to peace. Peace is the path. – Mahatma Gandhi
What is HWPL? Its purpose is to end WAR. Since the beginning of human existence, the war has been inseparable with human. How do you feel? Maybe you think ‘Is it possible?’ and you can’t imagine ‘the world without war’. The HWPL‘s Solutions is establishing of international law aiming to construct a world of peace.

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.”
1. States should unite to strengthen international efforts to foster a global dialogue for the promotion of a culture of tolerance and peace at all levels, based on respect for human rights and diversity of religions and beliefs.
2. States should activate and participate in systems to enforce and protect fundamental human rights, eliminating discrimination on the basis of religion or belief, and should refrain from and prohibit the usage of religion by governments, groups, or individuals in order to justify or to incite acts of violence against others. These systems should include, inter alia, judicial mechanisms.
3. States should foster religious freedom by allowing members of religious communities to practice their religion, whether publicly or in private, and by protecting places of worship and religious sites, cemeteries, and shrines.

Peace already begin to blossom
“When the light of heaven shines in the hearts of people, it becomes the light that never fades away.” – HWPL
IPYG, a group of young leaders, devoted their youth to achieving world peace. IPYG youth, with the vision of world peace, like shining stars, becomes the model of the world peace movement. The members ofIPYG are accepted by good examples of world peace movements. They are really passionate. One of the key activities is IPYG world Peace Walkheld 25 May every year around the world. DPCWParade!
“Ordinary people’s ordinary peace“
The IPYG, an organization of international youthleaders, is carrying out peace activities to protect the future of the earth by becoming messengers of peace.
“If there is we cannot do, and we don’t do it. That’s not the way it should be. Let us become one heart. And, the objective will surely be achieved. – representative of IPYG“
IPYG : We Youths, Become One Heart
Our vision
“IPYG youth around the world are united in one purpose-to share in the love and life granted from heaven through peace projects and campaigns”
“For World Peace to become a reality, this is the duty of all youth, everywhere.” – IPYG
Text of a speech in 3rdWARP 2017
“We have grown and developed in many ways. More than anything, we have been working advocacy campaigns so that the declaration of world peace and cessation of wars will become legally binding and it will truly bring all wars to an end.
We have been able to produce good results and you will be able to confirm this through the various sessions that had begun today. Our objectiveis world peace where there are no more wars. Until this objective is achieved, we must allfollow the leadership of chairman Lee of HWPL and go forthone direction.
If there is we cannot do, and we don’t do it. That’s not the way it should be. Let us become one heart. And, the objective will surely be achieved.” – representative of IPYG
“Immediatelyand very quickly, we have to work on for every nation and leader to sign up international law to implement and the declaration of 10 articles and 38 clauses. So distinguished guests, you already have an answer. Now, we need to takean action to it – chairman of HWPL“
It is a book of altruism. Have you ever think about good will? Sometimes I want the world to change better, don’t you? If so, I take an example. One man want to do something for children of the Third World countries. He get great ideas! ‘A wheel pump‘ He imagine children romping with water. This project received worldwide attention. It raises large sums of money. They can supply lot of wheel pumps to the Third World countries. So, what happened? Doing good better?
It is really uncomfortable
Many international organizations point out the flaw and families of the Third World complained. It is very ineffective than hand pump. The project suddenly went to smash. Although efforts are great, It’s a big waste of time and money.
Effective Altruism can change the world
A practical, data-driven approach to doing good makes a tremendous difference. Not only charity, It can apply to peace movements. This book throw a question. “How can I make the biggest difference I can?” Like this question, if you cry out peace, all peace movements are not effective and practical. We should measure this impact accurately. There is an peace movement that is highly acclaimed at home and abroad. HWPL‘s peace movements are very practical and substantive. DPCW(Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War) is already declared. Now, presidents only have to sign up. Or come up with something better.
“The challenge for us is this: How can we ensure that, when we try to help others, we do so as effectively as possible?” – Doing good better
