Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), a United Nations-affiliated organisation on Tuesday issued a statement in response to the conflict between Israel and Iran.
HWPL is dedicated to fostering peace through civilian-led initiatives.
“The recent violent conflict between Iran and Israel is causing significant concerns in the international community. The two nations that do not share borders are mobilising high-end weaponry to attack each other and kill human lives,” HWPL said in a statement.
The lobby also highlighted that “It is a clear indication that the greatest victims of war are innocent civilians.
"How could those lost lives ever be brought back? What could compensate for the outcry of Children and the anguish of the youth in devastated dwellings?”
HWPL has urged the international community to take decisive measures to address the conflict, advocating for the establishment of comprehensive international laws to safeguard peace for future generations.
It has been reported that Iran and its militant partners on April 13th initiated a large-scale attack against Israel by launching several hundred ballistic missiles and drones.
The international society expressed concerns over the possibility of war between the two states since Tehran’s direct attack on Israel was unprecedented.
Experts alleged that the attack was Iran’s response to an airstrike on the Iranian embassy in Syria on April 1, which killed seven military advisers including three senior commanders.
On April 18, the Permanent Representatives to the United Nations from 48 states including the United States, Australia, Austria, Croatia, France, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, Micronesia, Palau, Papua New Guinea, the Republic of Korea, Romania, and Ukraine issued a joint statement condemning Iran’s attack on Israel.
“HWPL remains steadfast in its commitment to fostering dialogue and reconciliation, offering hope for a peaceful resolution to the conflict between Israel and Iran,” an HWPL official said.
Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting peace through various initiatives, including dialogue, education and advocacy with a global network spanning more than 170 countries, HWPL works to build bridges of understanding and cooperation, striving towards a world free from conflict and violence.
