UPF AFRICA EVENTS
About The Event
It is with great honor that we invite you to participate in the, International Leadership Conference, Africa Region (ILC2022) sponsored by the Universal Peace Federation on August 2, 2022, under the theme: "Analysis and Strategies for Peace on the Korean Peninsula and its Relevance for Africa Region." The ILC2022 will build on the discussions and outcomes of World Summit 2022 which took place in Korea in February and which resulted in the signing of the Seoul Declaration.
The Regional ILC2022 program will feature sessions that highlight not only the outcomes of World Summit 2022 and the Seoul Declaration, but will also explore the applicability and relevance of the recommendations that grew out of the Summit for our Region – The Africa Region. This will guide us to further explore the - "Prospects for Peace in the Korean Peninsula and Africa: Creating a Global Culture of Peace.”
Representatives of UPF Associations---International Summit Council for Peace, International Association of First Ladies for Peace, International Association of Parliamentarians for Peace, Interreligious Association for Peace and Development, International Media Association for Peace, International Association for Peace and Economic Development, and International Association of Arts and Culture for Peace---will be invited to the Regional ILC.
It has been more than 70 years since the Korean War started in 1950. Since that time, the peninsula remains tragically divided at the 38th parallel. No peace treaty has been signed. Despite many efforts to open a path to peace and reconciliation, the conflict remains frozen. Nevertheless, we are confident that peace is possible. Through ILC2022, with your support, we hope to contribute substantially to the goal of a unified Korea, a united Africa, and a unified world.
