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 Statement Calling for the Cessation of the Israel-Iran violent conflict :)
HWPL Statement Calling for the Cessation
of the Israel-Iran Violent Conflict
Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL) expresses deep concerns over the violent conflict between Israel and Iran that occurred in June 2025 and condemns the grave threat it poses to international peace and security.
Israel’s large-scale attack on Iran on the 13th and the counterattack of Iran have created instability beyond the Middle East, sending shockwaves across the globe. Violent conflict cannot be a solution and only leads to irreparable destruction and loss of innocent lives. Those who pay the highest price are women and young people who hold a sustainable society together.
The United Nations and the international community are expressing their concerns and warning against prolonged violence, while calling for a peaceful resolution to the situation. As a unified voice that continues to rise against wars and promotes peace regardless of ethnicity, nation, or religious differences, HWPL joins other responsible members of the international community in strongly urging an immediate cessation of violence.
Peace is what everyone in this generation yearns for and must strive to achieve. The people of Israel and Iran want peace, as the entire global community hopes for peace to be restored. The current acts of war are a crime against the citizens of both nations and against all people of the world, and they will leave an irreparable scar in history.
HWPL once again calls on Israel and Iran to cease the use of violence and to seek peaceful solutions through dialogue and negotiations while upholding the principles of international law. The global community will support the decisions of the two countries for peace.
