Global Media Tune In to the 'Groundbreaking Answer to Peace'

August 03, 2025 0 Comments

Global Media Tune In to the 'Groundbreaking Answer to Peace'




Chairman Man Hee Lee of HWPL’s “Answer to Peace” goes beyond a simple slogan—it serves as a catalyst for spreading a culture of peace globally. News outlets around the world have actively reported on HWPL’s peace initiatives, positioning themselves as partners in the journey toward peace.

Romania’s state broadcaster, Antena 3TV, has taken a leading role in promoting peace journalism through its cooperation with HWPL. In 2019, the network conducted a direct interview with Chairman Lee and the HWPL peace delegation, shedding light on the sincerity and significance of their peace movement. As the top-rated broadcaster in Romania, Antena 3TV has continued a variety of cooperative efforts with HWPL since signing an MOU.



HWPL promotes peace journalism by signing MOUs with media organizations around the world. These agreements go beyond news coverage—they are part of the “Peace Initiative (PI),” which seeks to deliver peace messages and explore real solutions in conflict zones. Notably, this initiative began as a suggestion from journalists who attended the 3rd Annual Commemoration of the September 18th Peace Summit in 2017, adding deeper significance.

Countries in Central and South America—such as Nicaragua, Colombia, Peru, and Mexico—have shown great interest in HWPL’s peace initiatives. Given the high demand for peace in these regions, media outlets have focused their coverage on Chairman Lee and HWPL’s efforts. In El Salvador, the Megavision Group aired a special live broadcast for HWPL, while TV21 and MN19 conducted in-depth interviews with Chairman Lee.



In February 2019, a special press conference was held at the New South Wales Parliament House in Sydney, Australia. Broadcasting stations from 16 Pacific Island nations participated, expressing their interest in peace and willingness to cooperate. HWPL’s message of peace resonates across borders, inspiring journalists worldwide.

[#ManHeeLee #PeaceTour] “Impressed by HWPL’s Efforts to Correct the Unfortunate Realities of Society”

[#ManHeeLee #PeaceTour] “Impressed by HWPL’s Efforts to 
Correct the Unfortunate Realities of Society”




‘Peace’ is the most fundamental right that humanity should enjoy. However, the reality is that in many parts of the world, war, conflict, and disputes continue to deprive people of even this basic right. In this context, Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL, Chairman Man Hee Lee) is drawing global attention as a civil organization delivering a message of peace across borders, religions, and races.

HWPL leads peace not merely through words but with genuine actions. Among those deeply moved by HWPL’s work are the late Simon Lokodo, Chair of the Uganda Human Rights Commission, and Albanian journalist and editor Alter Nura. Through their interviews, we gain insight into their personal journeys toward peace and the reasons they chose to join HWPL.

▎ “A Natural Practice for Human Rights and Peace” – Late Chair Simon Lokodo

Simon Lokodo served as a Member of Parliament and as Minister of Ethics and Integrity in Uganda, and finally as Chair of the Uganda Human Rights Commission, dedicating his life to human rights and peace.

“Our Commission’s goal is to respect human beings and establish justice and order. Humans must be the highest priority in life, and power belongs to the people.”

He shared that after visiting Korea, he was deeply impressed by HWPL’s activities, and even introduced HWPL’s initiatives and the Korean Peninsula Peace and Unification Support Letter to the President of Uganda.

“I was amazed by HWPL’s mission and purpose. Their philosophy of respecting everyone—regardless of skin color, religion, language, or political stance—and pursuing peace is truly ideal.”

He stated that his involvement with HWPL did not bring material gains, but gave him psychological, social, and spiritual fulfillment. The inspiration he felt at the HWPL Peace Summit remains an unforgettable experience.



▎ “HWPL, the True Family I Was Looking For” – Editor Alter Nura

Editor Alter Nura is a veteran journalist working across Albania and Italy. He came across HWPL’s peace activities by chance and later visited Seoul to report on the Peace Summit firsthand.

“Some people claim that HWPL is a religious group. But I say, if we can do good using the power of religion, then why not?”

He emphasized that HWPL is not a religious organization but a community that practices the philosophy of peace.

“HWPL is a group that carries out, on a global scale, what I do on a micro-level as a journalist. Being with them gives me greater hope and positive energy.”

Since then, he has continued to report on HWPL's activities through the website (Perqasje.com), fulfilling his mission as a journalist committed to spreading peace.

▎ A Great Change Begins with Small Actions

What the two individuals have in common is one thing—practicing peace. One as a politician and the other as a journalist, they each resonated with HWPL’s spirit and chose to act to share that message with the world.

HWPL continues its efforts today to share the value of peace, overcoming war and conflict across the globe. And more and more people are joining this journey.

What kind of peace are you dreaming of right now?
Perhaps HWPL is the one to help make that dream a reality.

[HWPL] Eight schools signed the MOU... Teachers are experiencing increased satisfaction, saying, 'It's rewarding to see the changes in students.'"




Bangladesh has become a prominent country for HWPL peace education, signing MOUs with eight schools, including Shamshul Hoque Khan School. The initiative has seen strong support from educators, particularly Dr. Mabubur Rahman Molla, the principal of Shamshul Hoque Khan School, who was inspired by HWPL's commitment to peace after witnessing a large peace conference in Seoul in 2014. His leadership has led to the implementation of peace education programs in multiple schools, emphasizing the importance of cultivating students as messengers of peace.

Since the introduction of the HWPL peace education curriculum in 2017, schools like Uttara Model School have actively engaged in peace education and training for teachers. Principal Abdul Momin established the school to improve equitable educational opportunities in the region and sees HWPL's curriculum as a means to foster harmony among students. He and other educators believe that teaching peace is essential for shaping responsible future leaders.

As of now, a total of 36 teachers from eight schools have participated in peace teacher training programs. Teachers have expressed their fulfillment in teaching peace values and guiding students towards positive change. They emphasize that nurturing a peaceful mindset among students is crucial for a brighter future. With a significant youth population, Bangladesh recognizes the importance of quality education in shaping national prospects, currently ranking 91st out of 163 countries in the Global Peace Index.

[HWPL Peace Summit] 100,000 people attend HWPL Peace Summit on its 10th Anniversary, Launch of the 'Together Campaign'

October 08, 2024 0 Comments

[HWPL  Peace Summit] 100,000 people attend HWPL Peace Summit
on its 10th Anniversary, Launch of the 'Together Campaign'





▎ The 10th anniversary celebration held in 122 countries including Korea will continue to convey the message of peace.

▎ The event focused on "Building a Global Peace Community through Regional Cooperation."

▎ The 'Together Campaign,' involving over 230 civic organizations, will implement region-specific activities.


On September 18, the 'HWPL 9.18 Peace Summit 10th Anniversary Ceremony' took place in approximately 40 countries, including South Korea. On this significant day, dignitaries and members from both domestic and overseas gathered, with around 100,000 attendees present at the HWPL Peace Training Center in Gyeonggi Province.


Hosted by the Heavenly Culture World Peace Restoration of Light (HWPL), led by Chairman Man Hee Lee, the event centered on the theme "Building a Global Peace Community through Regional Cooperation." The ceremony honored the contributions of world leaders and citizens towards peace over the past decade and sought strategies for future global harmony. Various dignitaries, including Ven. Hyechong, a prominent monk of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism, and Jose Honorio da Costa Pereira Jeronimo, Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Culture of Timor-Leste, were in attendance.


In his commemorative speech, Chairman Man Hee Lee expressed gratitude to all attendees for marking the 10th anniversary of peace efforts. He urged, “Let us not draw lines between 'you' and 'me.' Instead, let us unite with love and peace to heal our world. Let’s collaborate, uplift each other, and leave a legacy of valuable peace for future generations.”


During the ceremony, attendees reviewed tangible results from peace initiatives since 2014 and discussed future plans, focusing on establishing regional networks tailored to local characteristics. This initiative aims to actively address threats to peace and consolidate collective efforts.


In line with the event's theme of inter-regional cooperation, HWPL established partnerships with the Group of Seven Plus (G7+) and the Latin American and Caribbean Parliament (PARLATINO) to advance peace initiatives. G7+ was formed to foster unity among conflict-affected countries through peace, stability, and development, with 20 member countries, while PARLATINO promotes development and integration based on democracy, currently comprising 23 member countries.


The ceremony also marked the launch of the national campaign "Together: Connecting the Republic of Korea," along with the signing of a MOU. The "Together" campaign, which began as a pilot in major cities across Korea in July, aims to foster intergenerational culture and implement various peace activities in collaboration with over 230 civil society organizations.

Chairman Lee appointed Kim Dong-hee as the head of the campaign, followed by the reading of the campaign declaration. The declaration emphasized reducing generational gaps and promoting mutual understanding for a better future, committing to create opportunities for respect and understanding among diverse cultures.


The "Together" campaign will carry on the spirit of the Saemaul Movement, which led the economic development and social change in 20th-century South Korea, with various activities being carried out nationwide by citizen participants. Just as the Saemaul Movement achieved national development through the modernization of rural areas and the strengthening of community ties, the ‘Together’ campaign aims to overcome social conflicts arising from differences in generations, regions, genders, and ideologies, based on social solidarity and cooperation.


Additionally, to achieve the "regional network" goal, sessions will be held across various classes in South Korea and worldwide. The slogan "Let Everyone Become a Messenger of Peace" will empower individuals to play a role in promoting peace. Specific efforts will be made to gather and share messages of peace and unity from citizens across various sectors both domestically and internationally.


HWPL, a non-governmental organization under the United Nations Economic and Social Council, originally held the Peace Summit in Seoul in 2014, inviting over 1,000 leaders from political, religious, women’s, youth organizations, and the media from more than 140 countries. This summit addressed issues such as conflict resolution, religious harmony, and the implementation of legal frameworks for sustainable peace.

▶ Signature of support for 'declaration of peace and cessation of war (DPCW)'

(EN) http://bit.ly/30lrUdI


Let's listen to the voices of the participants who participated in 'Legislate Peace Project'​

1. Rev. Tshuma Masimango Katembo, Mr. Jean de Dieu Munyembabazi, Democratic Republic of Congo

"We found the hope from Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) of HWPL.” all the 10 articles were exactly what DRC has needed. we announced the campaign of Peace to more than 100 leaders from different religious background and others stakeholders who held an offline signature ceremony, which was for the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War to be introduced to the United Nations through HWPL of Korea to become an enforceable international law. All religious leaders promised to inform the Declaration of Peace for Cessation of War to their congregation members, because it was an important cause aiming to stop wars, massacre in Beni, DRC and secure peace in the world. Accompanied by leaders of religions, youths and other volunteers from ODI, we started to go from door to door, church to church, school to school requesting people humbly to support the Declaration of peace and Cessation of Wars through their signatures. As a fruit of patience and courage, they collected 18,500 signatures out of 20.000 signatures needed. This was publically circulated and announced by different radios in DRC."
​
2. Mr. Dragomir G. Marian(President of MasterPeace Romania)

"We, peace teachers will keep moving on for continuous peace education so that it would be deeply rooted in Romania, and also we will stand at the front line for the implementation of DPCW for our future so that our students could live in peace."


3. Nazeeb Sulayman Ibraheem, Reporter, Radio Nigeria

"I am doing peace work because, without peace, I may not have grown to be educated, I may not have lived without fear of being consumed by violence or war. We can achieve peace work as journalists only if we actively, effectively carry factual stories and peacefully help in heart-to-heart discussions of objective analysis of situations with stakeholders like government officials, peace experts, civil society experts, youth and religious leaders. THE Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) is the most important peace document today. "​

4. H.E. Karim Khalili, Former Vice President of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan

"I support the efficacy of his movement to ensure the maintenance of human dignity and restoration of peace throughout the world. It is more than twenty years that Afghanistan has been at war with international terrorsm and has witnessed daily fear of losing lives to deadly terror attacks and other violence. In its past four decades of war, millions of its citizens were displaced, took refuge and disabled; moreover, huge financial damage has been inflicted to its economy, Therefore, Afghanistan, more than any other country can understand the importance of peace and an end to all wars and violence to achieve their long waited desire which is peace and human dignity. I warmly appreciate HWPL for organizing "Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War" program which can surely draw world's attention to the vital 133 need of peace and its impact on human societies."


5. Prof. Oleksandr Zadorozhnii¸ Former President of Ukrainian Association of International Law

"It is very technical, modern, and well written enough to be implemented. The core contents of the declaration are good. I have helped its translation because the contents were all good. But the main problem now is to make this into a legally binding document. On a legal aspect, there is nothing I should add or modify to the current contents of the declaration as they are good enough. But a problem would be how to implement the contents of the declaration. Perhaps Articles 9 and 10 are not based on their legal implement, but this would be concerned with volunteers, youth and women organizations instead. I totally agree with the contents and the structure of the declaration and have no other suggestion. The purpose and essence of the declaration perfectly goes along with the foreign policies of Ukraine. I support all the activities of HWPL and the DPCW because this is very important."​

6. Aung Myint Thu/Manaung Youth Networking Group, Executive Director/Myanmar

" In 2017, I decided myself I would actively participate in ending Civil Wars in Myanmar because it is already 70 years fighting. In 2018, this year I became one of young leaders, spokesperson, at Social Sector at Union Peace Conference- which is the top political Dialogue in Myanmar'' where we write we make Principle, policy, Laws which are to end the conflicts. 
In 2018 conference, we discussed the importance of children and women, Refugee, Education and Health. Just before the conference, I got a email from IPYG about this WARP summit. When I saw about DPCW which we are working on to become an international Law as UN resolutions, I said myself '' Right, this is what I have been dreaming - I will be one of the World Peace Maker to make HWPL dream come true. 
UN has not had this kind of international Law in UN. Therefore, it is the time for regional leaders, national leaders and international leaders to support DPCW and make the world have peace. And, let make this vocabulary ''War (W-A-R)'' disappear from our dictionary and our daily life talks. Let educate the Civil Society and get strength from them and make DPCW as an international law together. "

"Looking at these stories, Timorese people have been suffering a lot. A range of crimes and violence have been experienced which including massacres, tortures, kidnapping, rape and so on and so forth. You could have imagined how hard it was living in their own country and going through these situations. This kind of situation have brought many children lost their parents and many people had lost their beloved ones. 
However, the reconciliation was the weapon and is the weapon of living as a great neighbour in the world. (Can you please give a round applause?) The reconciliation was the weapon for us to live as a great neighbour in the world. Today, we are very proud living in an independent country yet many things that our leaders are still working on, so that our people can live in prosperous and live in harmony and peaceful lives. However, to achieve this, it’s not that easy as many people have been facing physiologically trauma and stressful and so on and so forth.
IPYG Timor-Leste is also working hand by hand with the IWPG Timor-Leste to plan more peace activities such as Peace through Sports, Clean up for Peace, Peace for Concert, Planting Trees and many more things. Moreover, we hope to include more young people so that we can create more spaces for spreading the culture of peace. However, to achieve this, it should be done by cultivating a culture of respecting each other and mutual trust within people to people and states to states levels. "​

8. Monk Phramaha Monchai Saitanaporn, from Wat Phra Dhammakaya Berlin

"All religions speak of peace, but unfortunately religion has become one the causes for the greatest conflicts in human history. DPCW deals with these issues of religion which may be sensitive and includes specific provisions to resolve religious conflicts. Article 8 of the DPCW contains provisions to deal with these things. Like so, the DPCW contains the necessarily legal provisions to cut off religious conflicts, protect the freedom of religion, and encourage inter-religious dialogues. DPCW Article 9 states that if such disputes are prevented but are not resolved and continue to be caused by religion, then strong legal actions will be taken against them. That is why I strongly believe that the DPCW is the method to achieve peace."


9. Soraya Salie, Founding member of the Bonteheuwel Walking Ladies, South Africa

"It is simple to understand, yet very powerful. Out of the 10 articles, we are actively advocating for Article 10 - spreading a Culture of Peace. This is easy because it does not cost money. All you give is kindness and nurturing, which is freely given. There is great advantage within this article. Our Peace committee is active in a community that is known as a high violence region, so we focus on this aspect of Spreading Peace as it is a simple and dynamic way to allow our community to have pride in Bonteheuwel ~ our beautiful, bountiful and blessed community of Bonteheuwel in Cape Town, South Africa."
