WARP 1st Commemoration of September 18th
Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), a non-governmental peace organization registered under the UN Department of Public Information (DPI), is hosting the 1st Annual Commemoration of September 18th World Alliance of Religions’ Peace (WARP) Summit. The two affiliates of HWPL, the International Women’s Peace Group (IWPG) and the International Peace Youth Group (IPYG), organized the Summit.
Prior to the first day of the official event, on September 17th 2015, a press conference was held at the Peace Palace. Over 30 journalists, reporters, and chief editors from major international broadcasting stations representing 15 countries came to report about the Summit and interview Chairman Lee, of HWPL, and organizing representatives.
WARP 1st Commemoration will serve as a platform for chief justices and legal professionals to discuss international law for the cessation of armed conflicts and achievement of world peace. Especially on the 18th, an in-depth discussion will take place regarding the Convention on the Renunciation and Cessation of War and International Armed Conflicts prepared by members of HWPL’s Peace Advisory Council.
As world-renowned legal experts will take part in the drafting work, expectations are high for its outcome. Once these professionals in the field of international law return to their respective countries, they will continue the carry out the project based on the convention drafted at the event. The 1st Annual Commemoration of September 18th WARP Summit is expected to take the world one step closer to the solution for achieving the cessation of war and world peace.
Elizabeth Costales Cachin, a journalist of PTV from the Philippines asked about the purpose of HWPL and the duty of the press and media in stopping armed conflicts and achieving world peace.
Chairman Man Hee Lee said, “First of all, we have to carefully examine what is behind the scenes of armed conflicts. In order to stop wars, a rigid system is needed to bring forth a practical solution for peace. That solution is the international convention on the cessation of war and achievement of world peace.
The purpose of HWPL is to bring about the cessation of war and establish peace as an inheritance for future generations. Certainly, world peace will be achieved if all reporters are accountable for accurate reporting standards and continually report on peace.”
IWPG and IPYG serve as the two wings of peace, making it possible for HWPL to soar. We have clearly seen that the development of weapons and armed forces have not guaranteed to bring peace to us. If we continue what we’ve been doing, we will not only inherit a world of war but also the destruction of mankind for our future generations.
Therefore, we call women and youth of the world to sign a statement to urge for the implementation of the convention on peace. We will work until the time when we can inherit a sustainable peace as an eternal legacy for our children.
ⓒ 1st Annual Commemoration of September 18th
At the WARP Summit 2014, Chairman Man Hee Lee of HWPL, called on the heads of state around the world to “sign and ratify a convention on the cessation of war to make it international law if they truly love the people of their country.” Chairman Lee is leading a worldwide peace movement that transcends nationality, ethnicity, religion, and ideology.
Chairman Man Hee Lee is urging political leaders to participate in the development of international law on the cessation of war, motivating many to join the cause.
The WARP Summit will feature the presentation of the first draft of the Convention on the Cessation of War and Achievement of World Peace prepared by members of HWPL’s Peace Advisory Council and International Law Committee.
On behalf of the international community and nongovernmental organizations, HWPL is taking the lead in peace-building in response to a world rife with disputes and armed conflicts.
At the 1st Annual Commemoration of September 18th WARP Summit, it is expected that an international convention will be drafted for the cessation of war and achievement of world peace so that the future generations can inherit a peaceful world devoid of war.
This peace movement is amazing and for the first time in history this work of peace seems possible. It would be great if the whole world heard this news of WARP 1st Commemoration.
