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 thetalk, 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 online climate action gathering in New Zealand :)
HWPL Holds Online Climate Action Gathering With New Zealand Environmental Activists and Youth Leaders
On September 12th, the HWPL Global 06 branch hosted an online climate action gathering. Environmental activists, youth representatives, and climate environmental groups from New Zealand discussed ways for the country and its citizens to concretely address climate change.
Today, climate change poses a serious threat to many Pacific Island nations, including New Zealand. Marine life is endangered due to rising sea temperatures, and it is also a direct threat to the survival of people living in Pacific regions who depend heavily on fishing and marine resources. Because children are likely to be the biggest victims of climate change, an urgent response is needed to protect future generations.
Panelists and participants actively participated in the discussion and presented a number of practical solutions and countermeasures needed to address climate change. It was also suggested that specific discussions are needed regarding the role of the New Zealand government and everyday citizens with concerns about climate change. The audience also had the opportunity to reflect on their own role in taking action to mitigate climate change.
The participants thanked HWPL for planning and leading the seminar and said that they look forward to continuing to work with HWPL in the future. They acknowledged that the gathering helped raise awareness about the impact of climate change on human rights, and hope to spread the message of peace and practical climate action more widely throughout New Zealand and other Pacific Island nations.
