[Peace News] Mr. Man Hee Lee is Awarded the Seoul Peace Culture Grand Prize!
Greetings, family of peace! :)
Today I bring you a short online newspaper with some photos (which I love).
Have you ever heard of the Seoul Peace Culture Grand Prize? Well, I'm sure you've never heard of it because it is a prize that is only awarded in Korea. Anyway, on the 14th Dec at Kensington hotel, Daily Seoul and Seoul Peace Culture Policy Institute co-hosted the Seoul Peace Culture Awards.
The Seoul Peace Culture Award is a national award that began in 2007 to demonstrate the will and belief of Koreans who desire the well-being of humanity and eternal peace for the world.

During his award speech, Chairman Man Hee Lee said, "The purpose of HWPL is the cessation of war through an international law (DPCW : Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War) which prohibits the production of weapons and war. It is acknowledged throughout the world as an effective measure to end wars. I'd really like to ask for the cooperation of Koreans in supporting HWPL to accomplish the peaceful reunification of the Korean peninsula in a practical way."

The Segye Times introduced HWPL as "an NGO under the ECOSOC (Economic and Social Council) and the UN's DPI (Department of Public Information)" which is carrying out the enactment of international law, alliance of religions, peace education and more to achieve world peace.
The article also said that HWPL has been taking the lead in peace initiatives and campaigns which represent all social classes through its peace tours that began in 2012, as well as its annual event - the WARP (World Alliance of Religions' Peace) Summit - that invites people from all over the world to engage in cooperation and discussion of world peace since 2014.

The paper emphasized that HWPL has been expanding its international alliances and initiatives through the 918 Peace Festival WARP summit, the enactment of new international law compatible with the DPCW and Legislate Peace Campaign, peace education, harmony of religions etc. To date, more than one million people in 170 countries have participated in the Legislate Peace Campaign.
Writer's comment : I'm so glad that, within Korea itself, HWPL and Mr. Man Hee Lee's efforts and works are gaining recognition and being credited for world peace. I actually think they should have awarded the prize to HWPL and Mr. Man Hee Lee earlier, but it is a very significant step that Koreans are now also welcoming HWPL and its chairman's work for world peace. I hope someday.
