[The messages of WARP Summit 2016] Today is the day for choosing peace not for war!
The 2nd Annual Commemoration of the September 18th WARP Summitby the HWPL was a pioneering event where global leaders devised action plans for peace-building processes based on the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW).
In total, over 211 media stations from 45 different countries have covered this year’s summit. As such news reaches more people and encourages their participation, peace shall come sooner.
But, only Christian Press in Korea which is CBS has been denigrating those reputations and they are against on HWPL’s movement.
Don’t you think that it’s right to participate in such movement which can achieve peace together by overcoming differences in religion?
These days, propagating false information on belief by the reason of differentiation in denominations and religion and causing conflicts and war, these actions are against what Jesus teaches which is ‘Love your enemies’.
Our purpose is world peace. If there are someone bothering achieving world peace, that is ridiculous.
We don’t need to argue that which one is better. We should make world peace by putting our mind and the will together beyond nation, race and religion.
Above all kinds of property, the peace is the best heritage to hand down to our later generation. The peace is the biggest heritage.
One person cannot make peace. All of us need to be the messenger of peace to achieve peace.
HWPL will deliver these sign-ups which is people’s wishes all around the world and urge UN to legislate DPCW as a bill of binding authority.
DPCW has 10 articles and 38 clauses. Main contents include reinforcement of existing international law to prevent war. The declaration values people and also includes the value of peace.
540,000 people from 167 countries signed up for this campaign on & off line.
Please, sign up for DPCW being legislated as a bill of binding authority.

Human Rights Day 2016, The message of IWPG Chairwoman Nam Hee Kim
Children of the Dark (闇の子供たち)
「Children of the Dark」 is a 2008 Japanese film directed by Junji Sakamoto based upon the book authored by Yang Sok-il.
The themes of movie is heart-breaking and tragic.
It is film being shown the devastating plight of Thai children who have become hopelessly trapped in the machinations of child prostitution and black market organ harvesting.
This sensitive subject matter aren't crimes that are unfolding in some faraway land where little can be done to prevent them, but right in a place where they could be effectively prevented if it weren't for the oppressive apathy of the masses.
It is really really important that children get rights of human.
Also, children must have that the rights to a good education and fulfill their potential in life.
Human Rights Day 2016
I belatedly realized that Human Rights Day is observed every year on 10 December. It seems to me that this day has passed in the indifference of the people.
Humane values are under attack. Disrespect for basic human rights continues to be wide-spread in all parts of the globe.
Some people were violating human rights and causing conflicts and war because of the difference in their religion, language, nations, etc.… They don't care anything about human rights.
The abuse of human rights, conflicts and war must not go unchecked. We must discard hatred and exclusion activities.
Marking this occasion with a special theme on the role of women in world peace, the Confederation of Indian Bar held a discussion on the same on December 9, 2016 at New Delhi. Mr. Pravin H. Parekh, President, Confederation of the Indian Bar spoke on Human Rights Day.
And Nam Hee Kim, Chairwoman of IWPG as the guested. She emphasized on the need to end all wars so that women and children can be spared from irreparable grief, sorrow and exploitation.
We must achieve the cessation of war through international law
Ms. Nam Hee Kim is working hard to improve child and women’s rights with a mother's heart.
IWPG is an international non-profit organization for women with ten million members across 1000 affiliates and branch offices in 170 countries widely recognized for its convening and campaigning capabilities.
It is currently working in cooperation with HWPL for the enactment of an international convention for the cessation of wars and the achievement of world peace with women all over the world, transcending, nationality, ethnicity, and religion.
If we keep pushing forward, we can come up with solutions to any of the negative situations.
Now it is the time to show the true potential of the women.
