World Female Leaders Urge for the Implementation of International Law for Peace and Cessation of War for the Unification of the Korean Peninsula and for World Peace

The 2016 IWPG Network Forum was held under the theme of The Role of 3.6 Billion Women in Realizing Peace and Cessation of War. The forum was joined by approximately 1,000 female leaders from home and abroad including Teiraeng Maamau, First Lady of Kiribati; Awut Deng Acuil, the Minister of Gender, Child and Social Welfare of the Republic of South Sudan; and Anna Cervenakova, a human rights attorney from the Czech Republic.

 

Currently, there is a growing sense of urgency in the international community for solutions to the acts of terror in numbers of locations around the globe and a series of missile testing carried out by North Korea. Amidst the global situation, the Forum convened female leaders from various countries who urged for the implementation of international law for peace and cessation of war and for the reunification of the Korean Peninsula.

 

 

In her remarks on the Forum, IWPG Chairwoman emphasized that the DPCW contains the framework of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the goal of achievement of human development and said, “the UN and international society should expand the role of women in security, cessation of war and peace.” She also stated that the most prominent method of women development is to advocate the DPCW for the adoption of the declaration into the international law for the cessation of war and peace.

At the end of the Forum, 109 new members from 16 countries were appointed to the IWPG Peace Committee. The Committee is set to promote IWPG peace works in respective countries and campaign with women in their respective communities

The Role of Female Leaders in Achieving Peace and the Cessation of War

Lee Yunsook / Former Minister of Women’s Affairs of Korea

Leokadiia Gerasymenko / President of Women’s Union of Ukraine

"We have to remember the great goals that people around the world are pursuing, such as: justice, respect for each other, state sovereignty, ... education, religious freedom.

Peace meaning: peace and love have arrived on earth by 2nd annual commemoration of the warp

Nowadays, non-govermental organization HWPL, IWPG and IPYG are well-known for international peace movements. What does it mean? Private organizations have acted peace and love in many country the world and many world have acknowledged and supported activities of HWPL, IWPG and  IPYG.
We should think about this tendency. Let it think about peace on today below contents.

Article 1: Prohibit the threat or use of force

Article 1 addresses the prohibition of the use of (military) force between states, which is affirmed and further exemplified in the call to respect the territorial integrity of a state. According to Article 2 of the UN Charter, states refrain from the use of force that can degrade the purposes of the UN, maintaining peace and security in our globe.

Still, violence and conflicts for the last decades have raised questions about the applicability of this principle. To further develop and protect the international system of peace designated in the UN Charter, the DPCW reaffirms that aggression should be condemned as an international crime and demands that states are responsible for prohibition of violence promoted by any individuals or organizations.

Article 2: Reduce War Potential and Repurpose Weapons to Benefit Humanity

This is a more fundamental, developed approach from how to resolve conflict and reduce ensuing damage to how to achieve peace before the conflict leads to war. The most practical mechanism of peace and prevention of war potential is an agreement and respect on cessation of war in the international society as a whole.

Refraining from the use of force should not mean elimination of all the human or material resources. Rather, constructive form of disarmament should be based on transformation of the resources to
benefit the community.

Article 4: Prohibit Coercion against Internationally Recognized State Boundaries

Article 4 describes how states can contribute to deterrence of violent actions in the international society and the establishment of an environment of peacebuilding, especially stating possible acts of aggression in the multilateral scope. (“by a state, a group of states, an organization of states or an armed group or by any foreign or external entity”)

It should also be noted that the form of coercion includes not just the use of armed force but other sources of threat including economic and political means. Accordingly, with understanding today’s interdependent world as a global village resulting from diverse human interactions and material exchanges, the article provided a timely, accurate access to peacebuilding in terms of the fact that discreet approaches and decision making by states are required to restrict proliferation of conflicts and settle disputes in peaceful means.


We can make peace and love of this age without gender, languages and frontier.
Peace is not far to us!
