The Role of Women in the Implementation of the International Law on the Cessation of War and Achievement of World Peace
Over 500 Participants at the 2016 IWPG Network Peace Forum |
The International Women’s Peace Group (IWPG) celebrated the new year hosting the 2016 IWPG Network Peace Forum and urging for the enactment of an international convention on the cessation of war and the achievement of world peace.
Tilted The Role of Women in the Implementation of the International Law on the Cessation of War and Achievement of World Peace, the Forum was hosted on JAN 19 at the training institute of peace located in Gyeonggi Province, Korea and convened approximately 500 women leaders from Korea and other countries.
The forum was the organization’s first forum of 2016. The theme of the forum highlighted the hearts of mothers that protect the youth, urging the international community for a swift response to enact an international convention for peace, which is spearheaded by HWPL (Heavenly Light World Peace Restoration of Light).
Against the backdrop of Nuclear testing of the DPRK and terrorism tearing through the world, support for such an international convention grew more active and broad. Participants of the Forum pledged that women of the world will monitor and urge the decision makers so that each government would take part in the international convention and put them into action once the draft of the international convention is completed.
