Hosted by Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), an international NGO under UN ECOSOC, the 3rdAnnual Commemoration of the WARP Summit addressed global peace-building measures through the establishment of collaborative governance among governments, civil society, and international organizations. Development in peace campaigns and projects was endorsed in many parts of the world through the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) proclaimed in 2016 to advocate international cooperation to establish peace as a norm and culture.<\/p>\n

Mr. Man Hee Lee, Chairman of HWPL, emphasized strengthening the international law for peace advocated by the DPCW. \u201cThe most urgent need is cessation of war. The DPCW drafted by experts in international law offers practical approaches to preventing conflicts. If leaders love their people, they should work together to implement peacebuilding measures.\u201d He added, \u201cA world without wars applies to every person in the globe, which means that every individual\u2019s dedication as a messenger of peace to peacebuilding will make a peaceful world.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the \u20185th HWPL International Law Peace Committee Meeting\u2019, Rt. Hon. Hrant Bagratyan, Former Prime Minister of Armenia, said, \u201cNot only this declaration and HWPL\u2019s peace work are beneficial to a specific level of society but are definite tool to bring peace to all of us. Without having the limit to one sector, more people raised their voice for urging what is necessary at our time\u201d, calling for the cooperation of every sector of the society to implement the DPCW into a legally binding document.<\/p>\n

In the Peace Education Development Forum for Spreading a Culture of Peace, Hon. Maria Eugenia Barrios Robles de Mej\u00eda, Vice Minister of Ministry of Education in Guatemala, said, \u201cWe could contribute in the promotion of the culture of peace in the world. We would help the citizens of tomorrow be more tolerant of each other and that a dialogue or discussion is the way to accept their differences and solve their conflicts. You and I are responsible for promoting the culture of peace to the next generations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also, the \u2018Conference for Global Peace Media Network\u2019 with 90 journalists from about 50 countries sought freedom of the press in relation to the role of journalism in the foundation of a global media network for peacebuilding. \u201cJournalism plays a significant role in delivering the collective voice of the global community for the same, common goal of peace. Now is the time for connecting the local and the national by the governance of peace.\u201d said Mr. Ian Seo, Chief Manager of International Press Department of HWPL HQ, introducing the initiative of the peace media network platform of HWPL.<\/p>\n
