DPCW, the international law necessary for peacebuilding.

 The global society has commended the historic decision of the North Korea-US dialogue, following the ‘Peace Olympics’ held in South Korea. A Korea-based international peace non-governmental organisation recently held an event in honour of “The second yearly commemoration of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW)” in Seoul, South Korea.

“Rather than taking peace for granted, we are the ones to put an end to war to protect humanity and our globe, and leave peace as a legacy for future generations. Todays’ law cannot compensate for the lives sacrificed in war. What we need is an instrument that protects human life, a law that prevents war.”

- Mr. Man Hee Lee, Chairman of HWPL -

“No human being and no animal on planet Earth can survive from weapons of mass destruction. Even an error or an accident can cause widespread damage to human life and property, which cannot be replenished. We all have to work 365 days and 24 hours together for peace as a messenger of peace.”

- Mr. Pravin H. Parekh, the president - 

 “If we want to put an end to war and build peace, let us work together for peace and overcome the boundary of state, ethnicity and religion. We have to think of how to resolve international conflicts through adoption of DPCW as a UN resolution. And the international society should provide assistance to facilitate peace education proposed by HWPL.”

- Mr. Deok Gyu Lim(Former president of International Law Association, Korea) - 

I also think that cooperation is important of realizing to make peace. So this event in Koea provided an opportunity for the global community to become united and cooperate.

HWPL peace law & Justice for religious freedom

  On March 14, Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL) held an event commemorating the proclamation of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW).

  This commemoration was held simultaneously in 166 cities across 71 countries which included South Korea, Zimbabwe, Namibia, South Africa and the United States calling for building a world of peace and realizing justice.

  The DPCW, with its 10 articles and 38 clauses drafted by the International Law Peace Committee, includes provisions on the protection of religious and ethnic identity and spreading a culture of peace.

  Globally 150,000 citizens and leaders of all sectors of society took part in this series of worldwide events, urging for the establishment of an international law for the realization of a peaceful, just society and the denunciation of anti-peace activities.

  In Cape Town, South Africa 600 representatives of political, religious, women, civil society and youth groups attended the commemoration.

  Global interest in the Korean Peninsula has piqued significantly since talks of the historic North and South Korea dialogues came into light.

  To ensure that peace and reunification of the peninsula becomes a reality,an international peace NGO has been working ceaselessly for the adoption of a peace law.

  Mr. Man Hee Lee, Chairman of HWPL, highlighted that every person in every country is responsible for establishing world peace.

“Rather than waiting to take peace for granted, 

it is we who should put an end to all wars to protect humanity and 

our world, and leave peace as a legacy for future generations. 

Laws of today cannot compensate for the lives sacrificed in war."

"What we need is an instrument that protects human life, 

a law that prevents war."
