The 11th HWPL World Peace Summit, hosted by Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), brought together 800 global leaders to demonstrate substantial progress in international peacebuilding efforts. The summit highlighted three major areas of achievement that are shaping global peace initiatives and creating tangible frameworks for conflict prevention worldwide.
In the realm of international law, HWPL's proposed legal framework, the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW), has gained significant momentum. The Latin American and Caribbean Parliament (PARLATINO) and 16 other parliamentary and governmental bodies have adopted resolutions supporting this declaration, marking a crucial step toward establishing legally binding mechanisms for conflict prevention. This widespread governmental endorsement represents a growing international consensus on the need for formal structures to prevent armed conflict.
Peace education has become institutionalized through HWPL's programs, with Zambia's Ministry of Education implementing the curriculum in all schools within its capital, Lusaka, while planning nationwide expansion. Mongolia has similarly integrated the peace education program into its national educational system. This systematic approach to peace education ensures that future generations are equipped with the tools for conflict resolution and intercultural understanding from an early age.
The summit also witnessed the launch of the Solidarity of Religions' Peace Committee (SRPC), building upon the HWPL International Religious Peace Academy implemented since 2023. This interfaith learning program has received formal recognition in several countries as a platform for religious leaders and citizens to engage in peace-centered dialogue. The initiative addresses religious tensions that often underlie conflicts, providing structured opportunities for mutual understanding and cooperation across faith traditions.
HWPL Chairman Lee Man-hee emphasized the urgency of peacebuilding efforts, stating that establishing a peaceful world today prevents burdening future generations with conflict. Former Croatian President H.E. Ivo Josipović reinforced this message, noting that current achievements guarantee humanity's eventual attainment of eternal peace. The summit additionally addressed peaceful Korean reunification and reported rapid growth in HWPL's global membership, which now exceeds 580,000 individuals committed to peace advocacy.
Following the main event in Cheongju, South Korea, satellite events will continue through October in 78 cities worldwide, with over 15,000 leaders expected to participate in further peacebuilding discussions. These developments indicate a strengthening global network dedicated to implementing practical peace measures across governmental, educational, and religious sectors, creating infrastructure for sustainable conflict prevention and intercultural cooperation.
