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 IPYG's affiliate organization: Public Lab Mongolia
Introducing IPYG Affiliate Organization – Public Lab Mongolia
Public Lab Mongolia, a non-profit organization established in 2018, aims to resolve environmental and public health problems by collaborating with various stakeholders, including civil society, academia, government, and the media. The organization is creating a culture where data is easily accessible and shared, helping experts and citizens from various fields make more informed decisions.
The mission of Public Lab Mongolia is to create a healthy environment and resilient community through the use of open data. The organization focuses on collecting and analyzing data related to the environment and environmental health to support data-driven decision making. It also carries out various activities to enable young people to contribute to the sustainable development goals (SDGs).
Major activities include community research on climate change, air pollution, urban services, and the use of natural resources. The organization also takes part in geospatial data management and analysis and developing programs involving youth and the community at large.
“Through collaboration, we will continue to work together to protect our mother earth and reduce environmental degradation by planting more trees,” said Erdenetsogt Sumiyasuren, executive director and co-founder of Public Lab Mongolia. “By working with HWPL and IPYG, we see how much power youth can achieve when they unite for a common goal. In this sense, we hope that together with the youth, we will do many good activities for the society. Currently, we are working together on tree planting and I think that in the future, we will cooperate on many other works aimed at the welfare of society.”
Executive Director Sumiyasuren also has a message for young people around the world: “I think that if youth unite in harmony, we can do everything together in the sense that we are one family, one world.”
