Discussions will address ways to establish “collaborative governance for Sustainable Development and Implementation of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War” (DPCW).
 

The DPCW was drafted by experts in international law to advocate conflict resolution and the development of culture of peace.

 The international community has been working to create “good governance” to implement an economy, culture, and education for sustainable development. Considering this global trend, HWPL has carried out citizen-focused peace activities, supported by the government.

 

The ‘Legislate Peace Campaign’, a grassroots advocacy campaign for the establishment of the international law for the cessation of war, by youth and women, has enlisted the help the over 100 countries through petitions, forums, and seminars since May 2016.

In cooperation with local governments “Peace Days” and “Peace Zones” have been enacted by cities in various counties, including the United States and South Africa. Based on its experience gained through its peace initiatives, HWPL has held this annual event since 2014.

 Under the slogan of ‘Together for peace as messengers of peace’, Mr. Man Hee Lee, the Chairman of HWPL, emphasized the importance of the support of the international community in achieving peace and unification on the Korean peninsula and throughout the world.

 

“For world peace and cessation of war, we should create conditions for working together with youth and women’s organizations in each country. I would like to ask for the support for the unification of the Republic of Korea to the officials of each country,”

 

Chairman Lee said.

 

 

The WARP Summit will be held in Seoul, Republic of Korea from the 17th to 19th of September 2017.

The World Has Got its Eyes on the WARP Summit 2016 Not-to-be missed Event for International Press

The media plays a wide range of roles in our lives because it shapes what we see and hear every day. By covering diverse news and issues on what is happening in the world in recent times, the media creates and amplifies the need of a sustainable global peace and security and has the potential to play a significant role in peace-building processes.
Particularly, the media’s impact upon the policymaking process and promoting peace shapes how to prevent conflict and enlightens world leaders and citizens to act for peace.

The 2nd Annual Commemoration of September 18th World Alliance of Religions’ Peace (WARP) Summit is a “must cover” event for international press to provide people with diverse aspects of the Summit and build a foundation for open communication between governments, IGOs, and civil societies on advocating for the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW).(Find more about DPCW, peacelaw.org)

With the theme of the advocacy of the legislation of peace, WARP Summit 2016 will address strategies and action plans to develop an enforceable law compatible with the DPCW and initiate a global change process aiming to move from conflict to peace.

 

 

Journalists and reporters of local and international press will catch the professional, inspiring, and dynamic scenes of the three-day event.

 

On September 17th, marking the start of the Summit, heads of state and representatives of various fields will participate in intensive and interactive sessions and forums simultaneously.

 

Global speakers will deliver keynote speeches to encourage alliances, connections and support peace networks among the summit participants and a global community.

 

 



 

HWPL is actively working towards the goal of holding the media accountable for accurate reporting standards. This year’s Media Forum will specifically discuss the plan of actions for the press through publicizing various media productions and utilizing resources to strengthen the advocacy movement of the DPCW in their respective countries.

 

The gigantic outdoor Peace and Sports Festival held on the second day of the Summit is based on the idea of arts and sports-based approach to peace and transformation of violence. The festival provides a cohesive platform to gather all people yearning for peace through the culture of heaven, transcending nationality, religion, and ideology and building bridges between individuals and communities.

 

 

This innovative approach to peace involves visual arts, sporting events, music performance, and card stunt for the positive transformation of international and societal conflict, creating opportunities for building bridges across differences and advancing a world free from conflict.

 

By engaging with and stimulating such entertaining tools, the use of arts and sports at the Peace and Sport Festival at the Summit is an integral part of peacebuilding to ignite the flame of peace in the hearts of many.

 

 

The last day of the Summit will summarize the entire events and share practical action plans based on common ground of understanding and practicality of the DPCW. Over 1,000 participants will gather at the same venue to determine their resolution in supporting the DPCW and once again reaffirm their solidarity in bringing forth peace.

 

For the cause of leaving peace as a legacy for future generations, HWPL aims to take another great leap forward for peace this year through endorsement of global legislation of peace with cooperation from all sectors of society and alliance of religions through interfaith peace dialogues.

 

As active peace advocates, media takes a great part in urging the DPCW by delivering the news of its development process so that everyone can take it for granted and it can be effectively implemented worldwide to greet the new era of peace.

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!
