In a world torn apart, citizens across all continents will join forces for Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL)’s 11th Annual Commemorations of the Declaration of World Peace and Peace Walk organized by UN-affiliated NGO (HWPL).
The annual commemoration is themed, ‘Communication for Global Citizenship of Restoration and Tolerance’ and is aimed to cultivate and share a global culture for peace.
The flagship event kicked off on May 25th at the Peace Gate of Seoul Olympic Park, sponsored by the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs of Korea.
In about 50 countries, the Peace Walks are complemented by diverse peace-building activities. The worldwide events include landmark walks reflecting each nation’s unique character, alongside peace performances, video screenings, photo exhibitions, poster drawings, sports activities, bazaars, and volunteer opportunities. Tree planting ceremonies and “free hugs” initiatives further emphasize the spirit of unity and environmental well-being.
This annual event commemorates the 2013 proclamation of the Declaration of World Peace, which outlines the roles of individuals in achieving peace and urges a united global effort.
Chairman Lee Man-hee emphasized the importance of working together for world peace, teaching peace at home and school, and becoming messengers of peace.
HWPL recently issued a statement on the Israel-Iran conflict, urging both nations to cease aggression and engage in dialogue for peace.
“Organizations worldwide, in alliance with HWPL as peace solidarity, urge Iran and Israel to put a stop to the acts of aggression immediately and to come forward for conversations to usher in peace,” reads the statement.
