Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL) is a non-governmental, non-profit organization in association with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). It transcends differences in culture, belief, and region to engage leaders and youth in sustainable and comprehensive solutions for peace.
Within only a few short years, HWPL has partnered with citizens and organizations from over a hundred countries in order to advocate peace on an international scale, particularly through the advocacy campaigns for an international law based on the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War(DPCW).
Through the hosting of annual events, such as the World Alliance of Religion’ Peace(WARP) Summit and the Peace Walks commemorating the Declaration of World Peace, HWPL continues to gather additional support from individuals, civil society actors, national leaders, religious leaders, and others under the common goal of a world free of war and conflict.
As more people are being awakened to this era of peace, the light of peace has continually brightened and spread like the first glimmers of dawn transforming into the full light of day. When the world unites with a single heart for peace under the values of heavenly culture that transcend divisive boundaries between communities, the flower of peace will soon bloom and peace will be left as a legacy to future generations.

HWPL’s goal is to develop the DPCW into an international, legally binding instrument and to do so, HWPL is preparing to submit the DPCW in the form of a draft resolution to the UN General Assembly. We are also seeking support from UN member states for the adoption of this resolution. Your support at this time will play a crucial role. Please sign your support for the DPCW

With this approach, the official support for the DPCW is declared by states. To further develop this initiative, the official support from states will be officially introduced in the United Nationsthrough the General Assembly Resolution.
