World Peace Tour and inter-religious dialogu

We call on the heads of state of every country to sign an international agreement—a commitment to bringing all wars to an end. We ask them to do this from a spirit of deep-seated love for the people of their country
HWPL AND WARP

Peace Delegation World Tours
The day when wars cease will be an accomplishment that will profoundly change the lives of every person in the global family. Hence, the Chairman of HWPL has often stated that such a vast measure requires the united efforts of religious leaders, political leaders, youth and women internationally.
Since 2012, HWPL has sent peace delegation to ___ countries. The peace delegation, comprising of the Chairman of HWPL, and the representatives of International Women’s Peace Group and the International Peace Youth Group, have dedicated their lives for the goal of peace and cessation of war, often traveling multiple time zones in one day, skipping meals and losing sleep.
To date, the HWPL peace delegation has traveled on 14 world tours. Through these tours, HWPL devises programs where religious and political figures collaborate closely, a key aspect of HWPL’s unique approach. Signees of the HWPL Declaration for Peace from all faiths and parties bridge societal divisions through inter-religious dialogue, awareness campaigns and policy discussion.
A Diverse Global Network
Working with leaders ranging from presidents in Africa, to religious leaders and teachers in Europe; from peace activists and Nobel Peace Prize laureates in Burma, to the indigenous leaders of South American peoples. The effectiveness of HWPL’s meetings with heads of state and other leaders of influence stems from a principle that leaders who love the people of their country will work together with peace.
With this simple yet profound common ground, over 50 heads of states have signed the Agreement to Propose the Enactment of an International Law, a pledge to end war through international law. 
A Commitment to End War
Through the signing of the HWPL Peace Agreement, leaders join a commitment to earnestly work together for peace through the unity of religions and the cessation of war by meeting often and updating one another and their respective constituents.
To advance the commitment, HWPL regularly hosts dialogues to convene leaders in engaging, in-depth analyses in smaller settings. With the opportunity to collaborate together in these round-table discussions, leaders are able to construct practical solutions to the issues at hand.
On a larger scale, HWPL also hosts regional peace conferences in the major international hubs of the world, including Seoul, Washington D.C., Frankfurt, and Cape Town. These symposiums are open-door and offer opportunities for local residents and youth to take part in the discussion on peace-building methods.
Most recently, HWPL hosted the World Alliance of Religions: Peace Summit 2014 in Seoul, South Korea which gathered over 700 religious leaders, 50 heads of states and 200,000 attendees to discuss the role of religion as a means to unite rather than instigate conflict and war.
