Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War

 

Recognizing the imminent threats posed by conflicts and wars, prominent legal experts from various countries came together with a determination to produce a new legal document that could serve as a foundation for a safe and peaceful world.

 

Through their collaborative efforts, the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) was drafted and officially proclaimed on 14 March 2016, at 3:14 PM.

 

Excerpt from foreword of DPCW explanatory book by HWPL Chairman Man Hee Lee

 

 

Preamble 

 

Recalling the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and other international instruments, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,

 

Acknowledging that all members of the human family enjoy human dignity and equal and inalienable rights, and that these rights represent a necessary tenet of the preservation of freedom, justice and peace throughout the world,

 

Aiming to maintain international peace and security and determined to pass on to successive generations an invaluable inheritance of a world free of wars,

 

Ensuring the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods, that armed force should not be used, save in accordance with the limitations prescribed by international law,

 

Reaffirming faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women, the promotion of social progress and better standards of life for people and future generations and the need to facilitate peaceful coexistence among the world’s religions, beliefs, and ethnicities;

 

Recognizing that the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples constitutes a significant contribution to contemporary international law, and that its effective application is of paramount importance,

 

Bearing in mind the universal commitment of the world’s religions to the promotion of peaceful coexistence, tolerance and mutual respect, and the common spirit that permeates all religious scriptures and holy texts,

 

Bearing mind the sovereign equality of states, and

Convinced that judicial and other dispute resolution measures can replace the rule of war with the rule of law

 

Call upon states

 

to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from international law can be maintained, and in accordance with the common spirit that permeates all religious scriptures, and the rules of international law including fundamental rights guaranteed, to undertake to prosecute and sanction gross and systematic acts of violence undertaken in the name of religion to bring about gradual disarmament of weapons of mass destruction and weapons capable of causing widespread and unnecessary suffering and weapons incompatible with international humanitarian law.

 

The signatories to the present Declaration do hereby urge that all efforts be made so that this Declaration is adopted and respected by all states.

Flame of peace burning, World Alliance of Religions’ Peace (WARP) Summit

 

 

Have you ever heard the story about

World Alliance of Religions’ Peace (WARP) Summit?

Here the story is!

 

 

Hadn in Hand

We Can Make This World A Better Place to Live

 

 

 

Do you remember this story?

 

 

 

Inspired by the story of a man who ran to deliver the news of peace that revealed cessation of hostilities in the ancient Greeks, the global community put efforts to rejuvenate the spirit of peace through a world sporting event every 4 years to think of our world as one village with the principles of coexistence and sense of togetherness.

 With the hope of global citizens to have a peaceful world in the face of ideological confrontation and greater possibility of military conflict during the Cold War era, the 1988 Seoul Olympics was the very moment for the globe hoping for restoration of a peaceful environment by all states transcending barriers that hinder cooperation.

 

 At the Olympics, the global community witnessed that the spirit of peace can overcome the pressure of force through diverse worldwide peace advocacy movements and the walls started to be broken down in our reality.

 

 

Two dozen years after the Seoul Olympics,

the flame of hope with shouts of peace re-appeared at the same platform of the stadium at the World Alliance of Religions’ Peace (WARP) Summit in 2014.
 

The global community was holding hands together, singing songs desiring for peace, and promised to work together, putting differences and barriers aside.

 Through interactive conferences and peace & sports festival on demonstrating practical approaches to creating social conditions conducive to peace in our times,

 

 

 

the WARP Summit 2016 will once again strengthen our solidarity in peacebuilding.

The 2nd Annual Commemoration of September 18th World Alliance of Religions’ Peace (WARP) Summit

 

 

Flame of peace burning in the hearts of various people around the world.

 

Let us be together for peace!
