HWPL is an international peace NGO supported by the UN committed to bring world peace and cessation of war. The organization transcends culture, religion and ideology.

As a result of such collaborative efforts, in 2016, HWPL and world-level international law experts proclaimed the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) that can prevent any armed conflict at its core.

According to the host organization, the NGO has advocated the participation of international organizations, governments, and civil societies in achieving peace through “Establishing Collaborative Governance for Development and Implementation of the DPCW”. Based on the idea of collaborative governance, this year’s summit aims to further seek for the driving force for the enactment of the international law for peace through an all-encompassing approach involving different areas of expertise.
