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 Cleanup Campaign in Mongolia :)
“Clean Mongolia” Cleanup Campaign Held… 30 Tons of Waste Collected from the Tuul River Basin
On March 22, in commemoration of World Water Day, the “Clean Mongolia” campaign was held in the Tuul River basin in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, through the joint efforts of HWPL and various civic groups and NGOs. Approximately 200 participants took part in the large-scale environmental cleanup, resulting in the collection of a total of 30 tons of waste from the river basin.
The Tuul River is a primary water source for the citizens of Ulaanbaatar and a vital natural resource closely linked to their daily lives. However, ongoing waste inflow and environmental pollution have continued to pose serious challenges, underscoring the need for sustained, community-based cleanup initiatives. In response, HWPL joined the campaign, contributing to a collective effort to address environmental concerns.
Participants gathered at 9:00 a.m. for a briefing and area assignments before carrying out cleanup activities from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. across the Tuul River basin. The event concluded with the collection and proper sorting of the waste.
Through this initiative, participating organizations actively responded to pollution affecting a key water resource directly connected to public life, successfully removing approximately 30 tons of waste.
A student participant remarked, “While collecting waste, I was able to see firsthand how much garbage had accumulated throughout the river basin. We should not dispose of waste carelessly; instead, we must properly separate and dispose of it or take it back with us when spending time outdoors.”
The HWPL Mongolia Branch stated that it plans to further expand environmental protection activities, including cleanup campaigns and tree-planting initiatives. It also aims to promote long-term environmental improvement projects in collaboration with local communities, contributing to sustainable environmental conservation and the advancement of a culture of peace.
