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 'Peace Talk' in USA :)
IWPG Holds Peace Talk at Columbia University for Next-Generation Women Leaders
The International Women’s Peace Group (IWPG) hosted a Peace Talk at Columbia University on March 11, 2026, to mark International Women’s Day and strengthen the role of young women in global peacebuilding.
The event, themed “Young Women Leaders in Times of War and Conflict: Seeking Peace Solutions”, brought together Columbia students and graduate students to discuss practical approaches to peace amid escalating global conflicts. Participants explored the responsibilities of women as peace leaders and shared ideas on how to implement peace initiatives in society.
The program featured a lecture from Mexico’s Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco (UJAT) and highlighted IWPG’s recent partnership with Leyte Normal University in the Philippines, where 200 teachers joined peace education efforts.
IWPG Chairwoman Jeon Na-young expressed the significance of engaging with future generations at Columbia University, emphasizing hopes for continued collaboration in peace education
Meanwhile, IWPG is also participating in the 70th UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) in New York to expand international cooperation. As a UN-registered NGO, IWPG operates 115 branches across 122 countries and partners with over 900 organizations worldwide, working toward the realization of global peace.
