The 11th HWPL World Peace Summit convened 800 global leaders in Cheongju, South Korea, demonstrating substantial progress in international peacebuilding efforts across legal, educational, and interfaith domains. The summit highlighted the growing adoption of HWPL's proposed legal framework, the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW), which has gained significant traction with the Latin American and Caribbean Parliament (PARLATINO) and 16 other parliamentary and governmental bodies adopting resolutions in support of the declaration.
In the educational sector, HWPL's peace education program is being systematically integrated into national curricula. Zambia's Ministry of Education has implemented the program across all schools in its capital, Lusaka, with plans for nationwide expansion, while Mongolia has fully incorporated the peace education framework into its educational system. This institutionalization represents a strategic approach to embedding peace values in future generations.
The summit also marked 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 gained formal recognition in several countries as a platform for religious leaders and citizens to engage in peace-centered dialogue, addressing one of the fundamental drivers of global conflict.
HWPL Chairman Lee Man-hee emphasized the urgency of global cooperation, stating that "conflict can never be good" and that current generations bear responsibility for establishing a peaceful world rather than burdening future generations with unresolved conflicts. The organization's global membership has expanded rapidly, now exceeding 580,000 participants worldwide.
Former Croatian President H.E. Ivo Josipović delivered congratulatory remarks stressing that the current global situation makes peace activism more critical than ever, noting that this year's achievements provide assurance that humanity can ultimately achieve eternal peace. The summit additionally addressed peaceful Korean reunification efforts and announced that satellite events will continue through October in 78 cities worldwide, with over 15,000 leaders expected to participate in further peacebuilding strategy discussions.
