South Korea to host 3rd Annual World Peace Summit
As part of efforts to promote World Peace, an NGO under the UN Department of Public Information (DPI) will be hosting the 3rd Annual Commemoration of the World Alliance of Religions’ Peace (WARP) Summit.
The NGO, Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL) says the Summit will be held in Seoul, South Korea on September 17-19 in association with International Peace Youth Group (IPYG) and International Women’s Peace Group (IWPG).
Global cooperation for global peace-building will be one of the main focus of the summit.
“This annual peace summit since 2014 brings together political and religious leaders, heads of women’s and youth groups, civil society, and the press from around the world and provides a platform for discussion and cooperation for peace,” HWPL said in a statement.
“This year, more than 1,000 global figures from 120 countries are expected to participate in to discuss establishing collaborative governance between governments and civil societies for implementation of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW), development of education as a culture of peace, and promotion of interfaith harmony.”
HWPL said, “ Former presidents, ministers, UN officials, justices, heads of civic groups, leaders of women, youth, and religions, and journalists will have in-depth discussions in groups on the topics: the direction of peace education for sustainable peace, the role of media in spreading a culture of peace and ways to build a global media network, and the way to foster peaceful harmony amongst religions.”
Chairman of HWPL, Man Hee Lee, emphasizes the significance of the peace education by saying, “In order for everyone to become a messenger of peace, spreading a culture of peace and peace education by the development of peace materials and training of peace leaders are important.”
“Region-specific meetings are also planned for the implementation of peace projects in collaboration between governments and civil society groups.
Each representative from each sector discusses ways to develop action plans for peace-building that can best reflect the cultural and social environment in the region.”
The Chairwoman of IWPG, Nam Hee Kim, highlights the power of women for achieving peace saying “3.6 billion of women, half of the world’s population, have the power to lead humanity to the world of peace. If we cannot use our potential, we can never achieve a peaceful world.”
The world women leaders are expected to make one voice to transform the DPCW into a legally binding form for the cessation of war in ‘2017 IWPG Network Forum’.
Along with sessions, a peace festival with 100,000 participants and local citizens will also be held on the second day of the summit. With the slogan ‘Together for Peace as Messenger of Peace’, cultural performances by 8,000 youth will be shown to convey the core messages of peace as a culture in the global community.

The reason why I researched and gathered this information is that I also want to be the messenger of peace. I was impressed by the speech of the Manhee Lee who is the Chairman of HWPL. As he mentioned, nothing can stand without peace. Peace is so essential for us. No one want war but if it is occurred no one can avoid from it. Therefore, we have to prevent war in advance. As every rights(like human rights - slavery, equality, gender equality, ethnic discrimination, and etc) have been taken through the hand of people, Peace also can be taken by the hand of us. HWPL is spearing head big progressions with innovative answers! Peace is not a dream anymore. Let's gather in front of peace together and be the messenger of Peace! Together for Peace as Messengers of Peace!
