Over 300,000 people gathered simultaneously in hundreds of cities including in Seoul, New York City, Sydney and Shanghai for the third annual commemoration of the Declaration of World Peace on Wednesday.

The event near the World Peace Gate at the Seoul Olympic Park in South Korea's capital attracted a huge number of peace advocates to sign the Legislate Peace Campaign, which was launched recently to bring all wars to an end by establishing an enforceable law compatible with the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War(DPCW), the Heavenly Culture, World Peace, and the Restoration of Light(HWPL) said in a press release.

"The Legislate Peace Campaign calls on global citizens to unite as one to voice their positive demand for peace by adding their signature." the HWPL appealed, while claming that as of Wednesday. 'the collected signatures have exceeded 500,000 from 154 countires in less that two months and many heads of state have written official letters of support for the DPCW.

"Today, marking the 3rd anniversary, at this very moment, our family of peace must be having their evyes and ears in this place. What we are ought to leave to our future generations is the common good of mankind, peace. There is no greater legacy than peace and it is not achieved by one person. There is no greater legacy than peace and it is not achieved by one person. Therefore, we all must become messengers of peace." said Chairman Lee of HWPL in his commemorative address.

Since the proclamatioin of the Declaration of World Peace on May 25, 2013, HWPL has proposed its international law initiative to draft a legally binding instrument for all countries to adopt that ultimately promotes a culture of peace and ceases all wars through the DPCW.

A South Korean youth leader said, "The organization has already made great progress in achieving its peace initiatives. It's exciting to me see what the next work will be."

At the signature campaign continues both online and in regular events, the HWPL expects the number of signatures to reach 2,000,000 by the end of this year.
