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."
