[IWPG] IWPG Global 6 Branch's Peace Committee Chairperson Appointment Ceremony
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 IWPG Global 6 Branch's Peace Committee Chairperson Appointment Ceremony
IWPG Global 6 Branch (New Zealand, UK) Holds Peace Committee Chairperson Appointment Ceremony
The International Women’s Peace Group (IWPG) Global 6 Branch has appointed Shona Hammond Boys (founder of New Zealand Children's Art House Foundation) and Georgia Mae White (head of Children and Young People at Nova New Opportunities, UK) as Peace Officers for the New Zealand and UK teams, respectively, at the IWPG Peace Committee Chairperson Appointment Ceremony held at the IWPG office in Chuncheon, Republic of Korea.
The IWPG Peace Committee supports the enactment of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) and provides peace education to women. It also engages in activities to spread a culture of peace by interacting with civil society.
At the Appointment Ceremony, the new peace commissioner Shona Hammond Boys, who has contributed to society through various peace and art activities since the 1960s, said, “I believe that children’s rights and creativity are important elements in creating peace,” and “I will continue to cooperate with IWPG to continue peace activities through art.”
Nova New Opportunities, which has been working to address structural inequality, recently co-hosted the 6th International Loving Peace Art Competition in the UK in collaboration with IWPG. The Children and Young People's head and new peace commissioner, Georgia Mae White, said, “This competition served as an opportunity to promote spiritual healing and solidarity for children in the Grenfell Tower fire-stricken area,” and, “We are planning more collaborative projects with IWPG, such as creating an IWPG Peace Garden in West London.”
