HWPL' s appeal to international society for world peace

HWPL Leader Urges UN to Ensure Sustainable Peace
On July 9, 2018, Lee Man-hee, chairman of HWPL, an international peace NGO in Seoul, called for cooperation and support from UN officials to ensure sustainable peace through the implementation of international law.

In order to ensure that universal human rights are exercised in the world, it is necessary to ensure that international law is effective in developing a global diversity of cultures and controlling them with one unified and coherent policy. International cooperation must be achieved. "

HWPL will do its best to achieve world peace and end the war through the establishment of compatible and enforceable international law with the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) and the World Alliance of Religions’ Peace (WARP) offices.

We have always been close to the misery of the war as we have lived with our grandparents and my father 's generations who had undergone the First and Second World War. My grandfather said he dug a trench in which the bodies of his colleagues were corrupted and smelled bad, but they had to step on them and go out and fight with them. Until our country broke into the north and south, My grandfather studied with his friends at school. When the war broke out, my grandfather had to go to the front with a gun at the age of 16, and the enemy that my grandfather shot was my grandfather's friend.

My uncle's friend, who returned from a fierce battle against Vietnam, said that he was deaf because of the sound of shelling and that he was mentally ill and had trouble adjusting to his social life. Many retired soldiers are suffered from a desease caused by a defoliant, which they used in the Vietnam War, paralyzed our nerves, so there are some people in Korea who suffer from the aftereffects of defoliant.

US troops returning from the Vietnam War have been reported to frequently experience suicide.
Humans have been in frequent wars. However, we must persuade the later generations to warn and educate more and more. The outcome of the war is miserable and the other is for the future of mankind. Our generation, either directly or indirectly through the war, should always remind future generations of the horrors of war and end the war. I think it is our duty and responsibility to live today.
