They discussed the roles of the legal circles in achieving world peace and cessation of wars.

To avoid this kind of situation, where a nation stands divided, we must push for an enactment of an international law that brings wars to an end.”

Mr. Lee continued, “I want to reveal that one of the many peace activities that HWPL is striving for is the very work of establishing a peaceful system in the Korean peninsula.” “A true democracy is when a government exists for the people. All citizens desire a peaceful world. 

Therefore, world peace is the highest feat that democracy can possibly achieve.”Heavenly Culture World Peace Restoration of Light (HWPL) is a private and non-governmental organization (NGO) with an objective to achieve world peace and cessation of war.
