How can HWPL cooperate to further the efforts and missions of UN? 

HWPL, with the DPI association can now work more directly with the UN to raise public awareness particularly in grass root and rural communities about key issues on the UN agenda including the priorities of the UN Secretary-General and the General Assembly. 

HWPL can also work with the UN to help collect data for the Post 2015 development agenda and can design and implement public information activities and programs including the printing and dissemination of publications promoting the work of the United Nations.

UN members criticised 

for failing to include 

more women in peace talks 

Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, chief of UN Women, told a security council meeting women were ‘perhaps the most under-utilised tool we have for building peace’

The head of the United Nations women’s agency is criticizing the low level of women’s inclusion at peace tables, 15 years after a landmark UN resolution.

The resolution called for women to be included in decision-making positions at every level of peacemaking and peace building.

Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, chief of UN Women, told a security council meeting on Tuesday that women were “perhaps the most under-utilized tool we have for successfully building peace”.

Alaa Murabit, who heads an organisation called the Voice of Libyan Women, blamed member states for continuing “to ignore the one tool that has never been more urgent for us to utilize: the participation of women”.

“From my own experience in Libya, I know the only reliable requirement for admission to peace talks is a gun,” she told the council at the day-long meeting which the UN said had the highest number of speakers ever: 113.

Julienne Lusenge, who heads a coalition of women’s organisations in conflict-torn Congo, said women from North Kivu province asked to take part in peace talks with M23 rebels in 2013 but were told there were only two sides to the conflict: the government and the rebels.


"There will never be lasting peace without the participation of women." 

-Lusenge Warning-

“You need to take up arms to be at the peace table,” she said.

Lusenge warned: “There will never be lasting peace without the participation of women.”

The Nato deputy secretary general, Alexander Vershbow, said the UN passed the resolution in 2000 because of the “brutal fact” that “it is more dangerous to be a woman in a conflict zone than it is to be a soldier”.

While Nato has taken steps to implement the resolution, he told the council more must be done. With the world facing increasing “violent extremism and terrorism”, Vershbow said, “it will be women, once again, who are most at risk”.


Mlambo-Ngcuka said a recent global study showed women’s participation at peace tables “is still symbolic or low” – and that a lack of political will, financing, accountability and attitudes toward women continued to be obstacles.

The study showed women’s leadership and participation at peace tables ensured the inclusion of community needs, improved humanitarian assistance, contributed to the conclusion of peace talks and enhanced economic recovery after conflict, she said.

Libya’s Murabit said the world could learn a lot from the ongoing peace process in Colombia which brought victims and their experiences to the negotiating table – 60% of them women.

A British-drafted resolution adopted unanimously by the council on Tuesday calls on member states “to ensure increased representation of women at all decision-making levels in national, regional and international institutions” dealing with preventing and resolving conflicts. It also calls for greater council oversight and increased funding.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights Preamble

Universal Declaration of Human Rights

▲ UN Photo ▲
On the second anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, students at the UN International Nursery School
in New York viewed a poster of the historic document, in 1950. After adopting it on December 10, 1948, the UN General Assembly had
called upon all Member States to publicize the text of the Declaration and "to cause it to be disseminated, displayed, read and expounded
principally in schools and other educational institutions, without distinction based on the political status of countries or territories."

-Preamble of Universal Declaration of Human Rights-

Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,  

Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,  

Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,  

Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between nations,  

Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,  

Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in cooperation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms,  

Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge,  

Now, therefore,  The General Assembly,  Proclaims this Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by  teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.

HWPL is hosting the Global Peace Leadership
Conference at UN Headquarters 

During the 1st Annual Commemoration of September 18th World Alliance of Religions’ Peace (WARP) Summit last week, International law experts pledged to work together for the implementation of an International Convention on the Renunciation and Cessation of War and International Armed Conflicts to bring fruition to the works initiated last year. Twelve specialists were appointed as members of the HWPL International Law Peace Committee. Chairman Man Hee Lee urged international law experts engaged in the Convention on the Renunciation and Cessation of War and International Armed Conflicts. It was drafted by members of HWPL Peace Advisory Council. Through discussion and modification by the HWPL International Law Peace Committee, the draft will be revised into a pragmatic international convention. Furthermore, HWPL aims to send the final convention to heads of states for ratification, and undergo the deliberative process of the UN to be fully adopted, implemented, and overseen by the relevant UN bodies.

While in New York, Chairman Lee and Chairwoman of the International Women’s Peace Group (IWPG) addressed the media, women, and youth involvement on the importance of the Implementation of an International Convention on the Cessation of War and Achievement of World Peace. Upon hearing the summation of the event in Seoul, peace conscious journalists, New Yorkers and the UN community were reminded again of the crucial role they play in propagating positive messages and the hope of peace through responsible and accurate reporting.

Following this event, the two global peace leaders met with heads of state and UN officials. They also participated in high-level events as well as met religious leaders from all groups to foster the dialogue that can move the people of all faiths one step closer to peace.
