After the peace walk, many citizens participated in the Signature Campaign in Support of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War in order to implement an enforceable international law for the cessation of war.
“The declaration has the article to solve religious conflicts, almost all portions of disputes in the world. In this reason, we are able to achieve world peace if the declaration is activated as an enforceable law.” Imam Amir Aziz, the president of Ahmadiyya mosque in Wilmersdorf said. “I think it is very necessary to protect women and youths, who are the biggest victims of war. That’s why it is worth participating in the Signature Campaign.” One of the citizens participating in the peace walk said.
“The peace walk is being hosted in German, South Korea as well as the Philippines and so on at the same time and we can feel the desire for hoping peace from all people.” A person concerned in IWPG said. “More than 500,000 people participate in the Signature Campaign in Support of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War and the number is on the increase.” “We urge that all people of the world should spur the Signature Campaign in Support of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War more voluntarily.” Nam Hee Kim, the President of IWPG said.
