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's UN CSW70 Cooperation with Jordan
IWPG Strengthens Ties with Jordan for UN CSW70 Cooperation
The International Women's Peace Group (IWPG) Global Region 2 has initiated direct discussions with Jordanian government representatives and key women’s organizations to expand cooperation ahead of the 70th UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW70).
During a recent online meeting, IWPG officials and Jordanian partners—including leaders from the Princess Taghrid Institute Development & Training—explored ways to enhance women’s participation in peacebuilding efforts. Both sides emphasized the importance of collaboration among governments, civil society, and international organizations to ensure women’s voices are meaningfully reflected in global policy debates.
The talks also extended beyond CSW70, with Jordan expressing interest in long-term cooperation, including joint participation in international forums such as the 2027 Morocco conference. IWPG was invited to engage in future exchanges, on-site visits, and collaborative activities aimed at strengthening women’s roles in peace and development.
IWPG Global Director Lee Seo-yeon highlighted that the dialogue marked a concrete step toward building strategic partnerships with Jordan’s government and institutions. Jordanian representatives further suggested potential involvement of the Ministry of Social Development, signaling official support for IWPG’s initiatives.
This development underscores IWPG’s growing influence in the Middle East and its commitment to expanding a global women’s peace network through sustained international cooperation.
