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 first yearly Commemoration of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) held on March, 14, when 1800 participants gathered in Seoul for Advocacy of International Law for Peace​. Faced with the reality of uncertainty in global cooperation, triggered by a chain of political upheavals from the Brexit to elections in the United States and European states, a new approach to pursue an international peaceful order was discussed.

 

In commemoration of the DPCW proclaimed on the same date in 2016, the forum reaffirmed the importance of global peace movement currently on progress under the Legislate Peace Campaign to establish the principle of international law for peace through the introduction of a UN resolution based on the DPCW.

 

Chairman Man Hee Lee of HWPL emphasized that peace building

“is not an individual task,” but “is relevant to everyone”

as a common purpose of the global community. He offered the role of religion as a bridge builder of peace, rather than the core of conflict and violence by adding

“our orientations must be one for peace. Whether religious, secular world, there is no exception.”

 

In the progress report, Dong Min Im, the secretary general of HWPL, explained the significance of peace projects in HWPL by saying,

“The work is to put an end to war in our globe and make a foundation of a world of everlasting peace, which is unprecedented in history.”

He continued,

“The solution to peace is all of us becoming messengers of peace.”
 

Bup Hye Kim, chairman of Buddhist Central Council for National Unification, offered a picture of concrete action plans of HWPL in achieving peace.

“Youth and women are the main scapegoats in war, but even in this reality we must face the fact that youth and women are voluntarily standing at the forefront to build the foundation of peace with HWPL,”

he said.
