HWPL Chair meets Palestinian President for peace resolution

The Intractable Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Finds a Practical Approach Towards Resolution

Palestine - President Mahmoud Abbas of Palestine met with Mr. Man Hee Lee, Chairman of Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL) on 4 December to discuss Chairman Lee’s proposal on the International Convention on the Renunciation and Cessation of War and International Armed Conflicts. The meeting between the two leaders was also to discuss the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, referred as the world’s ‘most intractable conflict’, which needs a precise but immediate resolution.

 Having studied law at the University of Damascus, President Abbas strongly agreed with the urgent need of implementing the Convention, HWPL’s core peace initiative and the steps being taken to overcome the deficits of current international peace laws. Chairman Lee, a Korean War Veteran and peace advocate, has tirelessly pursued the work of peace ever since he experienced the atrocities youths experience and see while in the midst of war. He vowed to bring an end to military conscription and pointless conflict through the International Convention that requires governing bodies worldwide to provide practical and sustainable solutions to peace.

Chairman Lee said at the meeting that “without the implementation of an International Convention on the Cessation of War and International Armed Conflicts, world peace would remain a remote goal. Because law itself acts as watchman, no one can easily perpetuate violence and cause conflicts once the International Convention is set in stone.” Pleasantly surprised by the efforts and vision of Chairman Lee, President Abbas shared his experiences and presented the ways in which he will begin supporting HWPL’s peace campaigns. 

Ms. Vera Baboun, the first elected female mayor of Bethlehem also met Chairman Lee with Ms. Nam Hee Kim, Chairwoman of the International Women’s Peace Group (IWPG). Serving as a chairperson of the Board of Directors for Guidance and Training Center for Family and Children, as well as a gender studies researcher, Mayor Baboun was especially inspired and motivated by Chairwoman Kim’s dedication in empowering women in every sector of society through the IWPG Network. IWPG works in supporting women’s peace activities worldwide including conducting various volunteer services and providing academic education.

Chairwoman Kim said, “the implementation of the Convention will bring forth world peace when women of the world unite as one with the heart of a mother and urge for it. We, women, are the start of world peace.” Mayor Baboun asked the two chairpersons to join and deliver keynote speeches at the annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Bethlehem’s Manger Square. Last year many renowned leaders, including Pope Francis, attended this ceremony. 

Chairman Lee and his delegation will be travelling to Albania and Kosovo to continue their journey of peace.

The real peace leader Man Hee Lee

     Peace is a thing that everyone wants in this world. But if we want peace what do we have to do to achieve it? And how do we do it? Who do we follow?
     As humans are used to live in a social life, to gather and move people, we need a leader. If a good leader is leading the way, people will have trust, hope and also peace in their minds. The leader must have courage, vision, inspiration, integrity and also has to be a good example. But most of all, the leader must have the heart and actions that contains this.
     Even in a movie or a history book, we can find out the real leaders that people felt as a good leader shows people a good example and leads people. You can find out that in a battle field, the leader who led people thinks of other’s lives not themselves. Even if there are hundreds of enemies that wants to claim your death, leaders are always in the front. Seeing the massive enemies makes the soldiers speechless and afraid, the leader makes them keep their courage with the word and actions. This is what we can say, ‘The real leader’.

  <Leader quotes & battle scene in ‘The Lord of the rings’>

     There are many good leaders that lived in this world and some are still with us now. Especially peace leaders want to change the world and make peace in us. But how far have we gone to the goal? Are we still near the start line? This is because we need a real peace leader that can move and act to make this happen. Thinking about religion, race, culture and all the other things can make this difficult. But once you do not mind for these matters, achieving peace may be easier.
     There is a peace leader, a real peace leader that is with us. To make peace out of the ingredients from the heavenly culture, Mr. Man Hee Lee is making world peace. He is caring a burden that many people refused to carry. Achieving world peace. Taking actions and making things happen. He is the one who is meeting all the public figures and presidents. It is the time and Era, which peace will come is this world. For this to happen, people must follow the real peace leader. Listen carefully to what he speaks. Not for the fame or money, you can feel that he really wants peace to happen in this world for human rights. We say people are clever and have high intelligence compare to animals, but why do we fight and make war that makes us sad? Because we have hearts, we have minds, and we have the love for others, war and conflicts must come to an end. To meet and follow a person is not an easy decision but the heart and passion that I learned and felt from Mr. Lee is hard to express with the words I have. He is the key to this world and the only one who can do it.

UN Chief Ban: South Sudan Rival leaders to attend Peace Talks

UN Chief Ban: South Sudan Rival leaders to attend Peace Talks

United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has said that South Sudan’s rebel chief has agreed to direct peace talks, hours after the UN leader arrived in South Sudan to demand an end to a brutal civil war.

Rebels and government have forced battle for control of a key oil town in the nearly five-month-old conflict.

Rebel leader Riek Macher responded positively that he will be in Addis Ababa for the meeting in time, but he said he will try best because he is now in very remote area.

Ban said he expects Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn to facilitate a dialogue between Macher and South Sudanese President Salva Kiir.

President Kiir has expressed his willingness to meet with Macher in Addis.

Thousands of people have been killed since mid-December in violence stemming from a power dispute between the two leaders.

“The country’s leaders must close the wounds they have opened. They must support justice and accountability for crimes committed,” Ban said.

How important is the role of arbitrator in here? Chief Ban knows well about the aftermath and the horror of the war from his country. So he might want to prevent unnecessary bloodshed by pulling off conversation.

  

Man Hee Lee, peace advocate also has been acting as mediator in the international community. Recently, he contributed to make peace agreement between religious leaders of two different religions: Catholic and Islam.

Man Hee Lee is asking international community for agreement signing the end of the war in their laws. I'm expecting all over the world sign to their law 'the end of the war'.
