[Peace News] Mali Parliament in West Africa Unites for Peace Under DPCW (Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War)


On December 21st 2019, parliamentarians in Mali, West Africa, gathered to hold 'Network of Parliamentarians for the Culture of Peace and the Cessation of Wars' to discuss the spreading of a culture of peace and the ridding of civil wars and terrorist activity that has caused cruel casualties in Mali.

That day, the DPCW (Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War) was introduced by Aurora Celestin, a representative of HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light; Chairman Man Hee Lee). The DPCW consists of 10 articles and 38 clauses that was drafted by HWPL's International Law Peace Committee which contains articles for the cessation of wars, ban on the production of arms, hostile actions, global violence and promotes a culture of peace and peace education for sustainable world peace.


All participants, including 25 congressmen and 4 national executive officials, agreed on and stressed the importance and necessity of the DPCW for Mali after Aurora Celestin's speech regarding HWPL and the DPCW.

Diarra Moussa, Presider and Member of Parliament, said, "Many are working for peace in Mali and there are many laws. However, implementation of the law had always been the problem. Therefore, there needs to be a solution like the DPCW to spread the culture of peace where people start to abide by the laws."

After the discussion, they finished the event signing a letter in support of the DPCW. It is highly expected that the Network of Parliamentarians for the Culture of Peace and the Cessation of Wars will actively commit themselves to peace in Mali and West Africa with HWPL :)



Peace!

[HWPL] Peace Camp and Peace Education in Ivory Coast and Mali: the Best Education in the World Today

[HWPL] Peace Camp and Peace Education in Ivory Coast and Mali: the Best Education in the World Today



HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light; Chairman Man Hee Lee) has been carrying out Peace Education globally to create a world of permanent and sustainable peace. The purpose of Peace Education is to teach students and children about key values including Love, Respect, Understanding, Tolerance and Non-violence.

From December 9th-23rd, HWPL hosted 'The HWPL Peace Camp' at seven schools in Ivory Coast and Mali. Those countries are located in the Sahel zone of West Africa, which has fallen victim to hostile conflicts between the French army and extremist Islamic factions.

The HWPL Peace Camp delivered the message 'Peace and Safety, Respect and Cooperation' to students who will become future leaders in conflict resolution and security within their respective countries.


The HWPL Peace Camp incorporated three topics for Ivory Coast and Mali, which included 'Peace and I', 'Peace that You and I make together' and 'Peace we make together'. These topics educated students on how to become advocates of peace who can pass peace on to their communities, societies and countries. The camp also included a 'Practical Education Program' that taught students the causes and solutions to conflict, and their implementation, in real life. This program was very popular to students and educators who participated in the event. 


Moreover, the Cote d'Ivoire National Commission for UNESCO - comprised of officials and educators - together with the government of Mali had a discussion with education officials from HWPL's Peace Education to continue in the implementation of the Peace Education program in their countries.

All participants agreed that, through the HWPL Peace Camp, they gained a clear understanding of peace. 

Rianna and Etan, students at the International English School of Abidjan in Ivory Coast, said:
"After we received peace education, we came to realize how important it was", adding, "I will be a person who shares love and affection with those around me in order to practice peace."

Peace Educator Asana said : "If everyone had received peace education in the past, the number of wars taking place in the world today would be much less. People don't understand why peace is needed, but everyone should learn about peace basically as it grows all over the world."


Children in the Ivory Coast and Mali will surely become great leaders of peace through HWPL's Peace Education. HWPL wishes for everyone in the world to cherish the value of world peace for a peaceful world :)


Peace!

[IPYG] Peace Walk and Letter across the World


The world has been suffering from war and conflict since the beginning, and it continues. HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light, Chairperson: Mr. Man Hee Lee), IWPG (International Women's Peace Group) and IPYG (International Peace Youth Group) has been carrying out their main initiatives for world peace such as the Peace Walk campaign since 2013. 

Today I bring you pictures from global Peace Walk Festivals :) Let's check them out.



Peace advocates of HWPL and IPYG held the 6th Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of World Peace and the Peace Walk Festival on May 26th at Gangaramaya Temple, Sri Lanka. Given that tragic Sri Lanka Easter bombings happened because of religious and ethnic problems, this Peace Walk Festival was very significant.




100s of youth from IPYG held the 6th Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of World Peace and the Peace Walk Festival in Delhi Public Library in New Delhi, India. Participants wrote peace letters to Ram Nath Kovind, the president of India.


IPYG, Çanakkale Bicycle Platform and Çanakkale Koza Youth Association co-hosted 'Cycle for Peace' to promote the importance of peace.




IPYG members in Gabon hosted the 6th Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of World Peace and the Peace Walk with youth and students. Lebissa Eliol Trancy, the director of Jaeunesse D'abord GABON, participated in the event. He encouraged the work of peace-building together with IPYG.


IPYG members in Mali hosted the 6th Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of World Peace and the Peace Walk at Ecole Fondamentale Lafia De Kalaban-Koro in Bamako, Mali. IPYG Mali branch reported that VIPs from various sectors and 300 youth participated in the event. Given that the Malian civil war broke out a few months ago, the event showed their desperate will for peace.



IPYG hosted the 6th Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of World Peace and the Peace Walk with 100 students including Isiam Imeri, President of Student Parliament of Tetova University at Tetova University in Tetova, North Macedonia.
