Chairman ManHee Lee is the head representative of the global peace organization HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light), which is striving for the enactment and implementation of the international peace law 'Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW)'. The DPCW is a legal instrument comprised of 10 articles and 38 clauses that can end wars and hostilities throughout the world. HWPL is also spreading a culture of peace and implementing peace education.
Chairman ManHee Lee experienced the cruelty and tragedy of war as a veteran of the Korean War. This is one of the reasons why he founded a global peace campaign as the head of HWPL. He has traveled the globe more than 35 times to meet and persuade politicians, legal experts, journalists, professors, peace activists, civil organization leaders, heads of tribes and others to unite them for the work of peace. The significant fruits borne out of his hard work are the World Alliance of Religions' Peace (WARP) Summit and HWPL Peace Committee. The DPCW was drafted and finalised by the HWPL Peace Committee.
How, you may wonder, do I know this? About 10 years ago, when I had just been discharged from military service, I came to know HWPL and Chairman ManHee Lee while researching the topic of civil conflicts to satisfy my curiosity in ongoing global issues. At that time, the island of Mindanao in the Philippines was suffering from a major civil conflict that lasted more than 40 years, and Chairman ManHee Lee and HWPL resolved this conflict through non-violent means.
Chairman Lee brought an end to the conflict in Mindanao by holding a peace talk between the warring Catholic and Islamic groups. Before the talk, HWPL and Chairman ManHee Lee held a Peace Walk to spread the culture of peace in Mindanao with the many locals who had gathered out of a desire for peace.
Chairman ManHee Lee's pressing appeal today is that humanity unites for sustainable peace in order to pass on the legacy of peace to future generations worldwide. He doesn't just talk peace, but has worked tirelessly for it through practical peace campaigns for over a decade.
I decided to become a supporter of HWPL and Chairman ManHee Lee's peace initiatives because I also desire a world of peace for all posterity.
Today I'd like to introduce an article regarding HWPL's Peace Art Competition in Pakistan :)
HWPL and MERI College Successfully Launch ‘Economics of Peace’ Online Curriculum
– Opening a New Horizon for Global Peace Education –
The HWPL Global 5 Branch and Meri College in India have collaborated to successfully launch the ‘Economics of Peace’ online curriculum. To commemorate the launch, a signing ceremony for their mutual cooperation agreement took place during the 10th Anniversary of the September 18th HWPL World Peace Summit held in India on September 28, 2024. Glowing feedback was given by many educators who participated in the event.
HWPL’s Headquarters, the HWPL Global 1 and Global 5 branches, and Meri College faculty collaborated to develop the curriculum. The course argues that investment in human capital, equitable resource distribution, and sustainable practices are essential components of a robust peace strategy. Furthermore, it seeks to illuminate the intricate relationship between economic systems and the pursuit of lasting peace, exploring how prosperity and stability can coexist.
This collaboration is significant, making it the first time that HWPL has launched peace education in an online format. This makes peace education easily accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world, and is free of charge. It will greatly contribute to the realization of the goal of spreading the culture of peace and ‘nurturing peace citizens.
The curriculum consists of a total of three modules. Modules 1 and 2 deal with the importance of peace from an economic perspective, and Module 3 includes peace education content based on HWPL’s Mindanao case and peace textbooks. The students will be able to learn the core elements of peace education through Mindanao, a representative case of conflict cessation by HWPL, along with a deep understanding of peace from an economic perspective.
The official course began on October 5, 2024, and about 240 students are currently taking this course at Meri College. In the future, many other university students and citizens around the world will be able to take this course. The launch of online peace education at Meri College highlights the potential for peace education to be implemented in schools all over the world.
