[WARP Summit 2016 Part I] The Possibility of DPCW's Implementation

The 2nd Annual Commemoration of September 18th World Alliance of Religions’ Peace Summit held on September 17~19 at the Seoul, South Korea.

1,000 renowned leaders in every corner of the globe, as participants from 130 countries, took part in the summit, organized by HWPL, an international NGO registered in the UN DPI that conducts peace-related projects and campaigns globally. 

The summit begun with the Advocacy Forum for the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War on September 17th.

“For the 2nd Annual Commemoration of the WARP Summit, we’ve come together. All family members of peace who have a strong will for peace must gather our hearts and communicate with each other for peace to be settled one day sooner, for it is what all humanity has been longing for."

- HWPL Chairman Man Hee Lee -

Beginning with an opening speech by Chairman Man Hee Lee of HWPL, two parts of the forum for 4 hours sought peace building strategies based on "Plan of Action for Advocacy to Intergovernmental Organizations, Governments, and the Public."

The Potentiality of the DPCW and the Possibility of its Implementation

Dr. Kamal Hossain, Senior Advocate of Supreme Court of Bangladesh and member of HWPL International Law Peace Committee, stressed the importance of advocacy of international law for peace through the implementation of the DPCW. 

Ms. Ediola Pashollari, Secretary General of World Assembly of Youth in Albania,  suggested that the promotion of value of peace and justice must be provided.

She said, "Another effective strategy is to make a petition that will reach out to the heads of state and make the DPCW as a legally binding international policy."

Ms. Denise Robinson has dedicated her life to women rights, democracy and prohibition of racial discrimination as a minister and member of Parliament of South Africa and Federal Leader Democratic Alliance Women's Network (DAWN), For development of the DPCW with the support from the public.

She said, "In order for the DPCW to be implemented and start bringing the change which it was created for, it is imperative that the public be informed about the contents and goals of this document. This means that those of us who know this declaration now need to create situations like seminars and round table discussions around it."

Mr. Abdessatar Ben Moussa, President of Tunisian League of Human Rights, a representative civil society organization of the National Dialogue Quartetannounced as the laureate of the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize, emphasized the legislation through parliament or congress by saying, "The essential is to submit petitions to parliamentarians to collect petitions because parliaments are the efficient pressure methods concerning governments and Heads of States."

Chairwoman Nam Hee Kim of the IWPG also appealed to the participants by saying, “War only gives birth to another war, leaving fear and sacrifices to our future generations. All heads of state, justices, and UN representatives must work at the forefront to advocate for the implementation of international law compatible with the DPCW.”

We can't achieve world peace without ending war. In order to end war, heads of state around the world should become one for peace and support the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War. 

I feel like peace can be achieved because I saw the unfolding of HWPL’s peace movement. HWPL allowed me to realize that everyone living on earth has to work together by becoming a messenger of peace to fulfill peace. 

I'm sure that Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War(DPCW) will succeed.
